Prayers For London

May God (however He or She is concieved) be with them through this.

Sadly I predict that this will lead to more partisanship and hostility in our country. Conservatives will say: See? We told you these terrorists are dangerous! We need to follow the lead of our President to defeat them! Progressives, including myself will say: We told you Iraq had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda! Osama is still free! Why didn't we finish the job in Afghanistan! This whole fiasco has put us all at risk!

Both sides will be right. Neither side will admit the other is right. We'll stay the course and bodies will keep piling up.

Goddess, I hope I am wrong.
