The News from Spain

Well, Britain.

And Britain is a very different place from Spain. As Al Qaeda is about to find out.

Goldstein has the roundup of roundups, so he's an excellent place to start.


My mother-in-law lived through the bombing of London during WWII as a young woman, and nearly lost her life. My husband and his siblings were adults before they figured out why she became tense every time pots and pans clanked together—or got dropped—in the kitchen.

I slept late today, and when I woke up I logged in and saw what had happened. My first thought was AQ.

I started some tea, and my husband came up the stairs. "They bombed London."

"I saw."

"In a way, it was a good target, because of G8."

"But it's the British. This might prove to be a big mistake."

"It probably will."

Today we are all British, except for the mealy-mouthed politicians who are already suggesting that this bad thing happened because we made the poor misunderstood terrorists mad.

What, exactly, had New York and Washington done to make them mad before 9/11?

Greyhawk:

An attack on a nation hosting the leaders of the civilized world certainly sends a message, after all. A carefully considered reply delivered soon would be appropriate.

Fuck, yeah.
