The world seems smaller tonight; I have been to those spots in London where the incidents happened. It's a movie we have seen before and sadly think we will see this type of thing again.

Alright now, everyone get ready to carry on just as before, thoughts and prayers, etc.
I don't know what the world is going to look like ten, fifteen years from now.
There's surely going to be a tipping point when people aren't willing to tolerate this pervasive unease and lack of basic safety anymore and demand action be taken. I can't see that many options for truly addressing it that wouldn't be, in most other circumstances, unpalatable and unpleasant.

its only going to escalate in the years to come. It seems there is no solution other than radical acceptance that this is a part of life now. I dont know. We've already bombed the Middle East enough to create long lasting impact.

I don't get it. I have a peculiar perspective growing up in Ireland but the IRA only happenned as a response to innocent people consistently being hurt by an armed military force kicking their doors on every night and hurting their mothers and little brothers and sisters. This is the same thing.
Piss poor US and U.K. Foreign policy coming back to bite them.
