[lace-chat] Bush/Bombings/Nicer things
I've already replied to Carolyn privately saying: "George Bush spoke immediately after Tony Blair, and his first words were ""This morning I have been in contact with the Homeland Security folks. I instructed them to be in touch with local and state officials about the facts of what took place... in London and be extra vigilant." At which point the TV cut to the studio presumably because people would have been upset that condolences weren't offered first. If he did offer any, it was after that statement, but I haven't seen or read that he did." That seems to be the only bit that Reuters has reported.George Bush hasn't been mentioned again, except grouped as "the other world leaders" expressing their condolences. London appears to be back to normal this morning except for the obvious problems caused by the investigations at the crime scenes, including major parts of the undeground system being closed off. On a much nicer note, I became a great aunt (the nearest I'll ever be to a mother or grandmother). Not unusual, but really pleasing that old family names are being carried on through the twin girls born yesterday - Georgianna (my great grandmother's name on my mother's side) and Charlotte (the female version of Charles, which has been the first name for several generations of men on my father's side).

My sincere sympathy to any involved, however indirectly, in the London "incidents". Our thoughts and prayers are with you. What mankind will do in the name of religion, when really it is just seeking power and as is said, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!! And we don't seem to learn from history, more's the pity! Maxine N.Z. Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing as gentle as real strength.

I'd just like to add to my disgust at Bush, that I was very impressed with Rudi Guiliani. He was interviewed on TV alone, was very relaxed, articulate and obviously spoke from the heart.

Dear Spiders, I too, send my sympathies to all in London and echo all the statements prior to mine. Has anyone heard from Sue Babbs? She and her family are in England at this time.

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List
Hi All, I also thought the remarks were a bit flippant in the face if such an incident, but maybe what she was meaning didn't come out on paper as she would have wished! We can all sometimes be guilty of not re-reading and correcting what we have written, and in that way, offending others. Perhaps Dora is right now shrivelling up in mortification ... Carol - in Suffolk UK - very glad that daughter wasn't in London yesterday, and praying for all those injured and bereaved.

[lace-chat] london bombings
i am really sorry about what happened in London. i don't understand why people think it makes them strong to attack innocent citizens. there had to have been many innocent children, mothers, grandmothers, and harmless elderly riding on those buses. where could there be a victory in this kind of attack? there never will be. England is still one of the strongest countries in the world even though it is just a small island, and no one would be that foolish to attempt something like this on it. England also has the best relations with almost all other countries and acts as a mediator helping to keep things fair with business and foreign relations. i can't see how anyone would benefit in bombing any part in it. this is going to hurt everyone in all the surrounding countries for all the security regulations they are going to make now. many american's here because of all the new rules and hazards of being attacked are still refusing to travel because of 9/11 and it is hard to fly even locally. i hate to see England have to go to those extremes and i hope there is another way for them to handle this. i hope you all find your missing loved ones and i hope they will catch who did this very quickly so there won't be any more violence. we are all sorry to hear about the bombing here in the u.s.a.. as far as president bush goes, i think he is slow to say anything. he didn't react very quickly with the tsunami either. i am surprised he didn't jump a little quicker about the attack being that it was in England. this has to be as bad as 9/11. i hope he does address it correctly. England was nice enough to back the u.s.a in this war and i think the u.s.a. should be the first to volunteer any help in England in any way they may need. this has been on the tv all day yesterday and today here in the u.s.a. too, so we are also watching and hoping for the safe and healthy return of all the people still lost. you have many people hear waiting patiently in front of the tv hoping for a better outcome. we have been through this already with 9/11, and we wouldn't wish this on anyone. we have in laws that were at work a block or two down from the towers that the planes ran into, and we wouldn't want to put anyone through that kind of worry or tragedy. from Susan from susan in tennessee,u.s.a.

Re: [lace-chat] re: bombings
Thanks for thinking of me. I am safe and so is my family and, as far as I know all my friends who work in London. This time we were safely in the suburbs, and the bomb in the nearest station turned out only to be a rumour. Fortunately we all survived the IRA bombs of earlier years too - though some of them were much nearer misses -- Sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Original message -- > Dear Spiders, > > I too, send my sympathies to all in London and echo all the statements > prior to mine. > > Has anyone heard from Sue Babbs?

I guess we have to remember that the press only show what they want us to see and it is usually the worst sound bites possible. The more gory the better. I have just come back from 10 days in England including many hours spent on the Underground in London and cannot imagine how horrible it must have been to be trapped so far down below in the dark. I saw on the TV tonight how they were ringing the bell that was sent from Britain to New York as a memorial to victims of 9/11 but this time it was ringing for those in London. Very sad.
