London shrugs

The Times says London is 'reeling'. What's odd is that it's really not.
Seven scenes of emergency, carefully chosen to bring major transport routes and financial hubs to a standstill, haven't stopped the city in its tracks - the Tube may be paralysed, but the scenes on the streets are calm. Police, fire, and medics are working together smoothly and efficiently; they've been training years for this. Hospitals swung into action, and booked in 180 patients and a truckload of blood without problems. People realised the situation, and hung out on street corners or strode home.
Well done, my fellow Londoners - the fundamentalists think they've struck a haymaking blow, when in fact it's caused no more trouble than a brusque jostle. Do your worst, guys: this city can take it.

carefully chosen to provide the US media with something to do to get slimebag Karl Rove out of the limelight!

Not so sure this was terrorism...
