misscamI want to weep.
Not this shit again. Part of me wants to curse at the sodding bastards who did this, part of me just feels very, very tired. I hope all Brits on my flist are safe and that their friends and families are safe.
I love Britain. I've always been an Anlgophile, growing up with BBC programs and British authors and even British football. And somewhere in a dark part of me I know I've been waiting for this shit to happen, giving the UK's profile, given the Iraq mess, given the rotten world. Still, I am sorry. So very, very sorry. This should not happen. This should not be.
Yet it is.
And you bastards who did this, who attack innocent civilians where they are most vulnerable - you're no warriors in battle. Like so many before you, you are cowards in a war. You have no claim to the word 'warrior' or 'jihad.' You kill because you hate and I pity you, for it is all you'll ever know, all you'll ever be and you don't even understand why this is such a great sorrow. For this and this alone, I do pity you. For the rest - fuck you, you sodding murderous bastards.
Also, STFU Bush (and possibly Blair - I will reserve judgement on you for now. You did seem genuinly affected). If either of you try to take political advantage of this, I hope a whale falls on you both.

Date: 2005-07-07 09:23 am (UTC)Now my parents aren't sure. I highly doubt something again will happen that close and yet that far away from today and I don't think we'll be in London for very long (maybe 4 or 5 days). And they'll probably be heightened security and all. But still, it sucks.
And I totally agree with you about those damn terrorists not being warriors. Attacking armies is regrettable for us, but at least our armies know how to fight and have weapons and are prepared and make it, in essence, a 'fair' fight. Innocent civilians don't and it is cowardly to take it out on them just because you hate that country/it's political leader.
