After 9/11 Brittain flooded us with gestures of sympathy. It's pathetic that in an attack that's actually much greater on them, we as a nation cant' do anything more than have Condi sign an autograph.
And to explain the statement that's about to get jumped on - remember bin Laden had NO clue the towers would come down. He figured he'd kill whoever was on the floor the plane hit, and maybe if he was really lucky people above that would be killed by the smoke/fire. So from a planning perspective, London was just about as bad - 4 seperate attacks, just like in the US. Seems to me we could be a bit more sympathetic to the nation that's stuck with us even through some amazing blunders.
