In a way we where lucky...

Imagine if the terrorists had targeted Live 8 thousands of people packed close together, or if they had hit a football crowd, or bombed wimbledon, or lords in the test match.

THe bombings could have been a lot worse.

That's in a sort of "everything's relative" kind of way, though.

It could have been worse, certainly, and I'm thankful that it wasn't.
But the way that it appears to have been planned was as if they
wanted to kill as many as they could in one packed area (an underground
rail) and, if any survivors could run away, they might run to the busses,
where there would be MORE bombs.

But that's just one theory that I hear on the local news from where I sit, here,
on the other side of the world. And I don't want to rehash it too much.
