AP: World stands with London
CQ: We are all Britons today
Shape of Days: We are all Britons
Power Line: Stand for Freedom
And from Wretchard at The Belmont Club, “The Blitz Comes to London:”

The attack on London was a “time on target” attack which required simultaneity so that one incident did not compromise the subsequent. By implication the personnel involved received some degree of training and planned the operation in sufficient secrecy to prevent British security services from getting wind of it. The six attacks probably mean that a minimum of forty persons were involved, if those in support roles are included. The attackers must have an egress plan or access to safe houses where they can weather the inevitable crackdown.

Insular Britain, which fought a long terrorist war against the IRA is one of the hardest targets in the Western world. There is no reason, in principle, why similar attacks cannot happen on a larger or deadlier scale in some American or Australian city, less prepared than London — or indeed anyplace in the world — such as Thailand, India or the Philippines — where they have happened already. As long as Islamic fundamentalist terror exists danger will exist. Liberals may believe that accommodation, appeasement or flattery can change this correspondence. But terrorism will remind the world as often as it needs reminding that there isn’t room enough on the planet for Islamic terror and civilization.

Faster. Please.

Josh Trevino, blogging from Edinburgh:

The immediate matter is to sort the living from the dead, care for the former, and bury the latter.

Once buried, it will be time to avenge them.

Perhaps the villains’ expectation is that the Briton will quail as the Spaniards, reacting to massacre with headlong flight from foreign fields. I think not. About me, I see older Scots with a steely flint in their eyes.

The reckoning will come. There is a soul of honor beneath the ribs of death.

We may all be Britons today, but the terrorists see us all as something else. Laurence Simon cuts to the chase:

Want to know what we are? Want to know what we are when we go about our daily lives, looking out for one another, getting along without slitting the throats of our neighbors or blowing up buses full of innocent people for what we perceive as wrongs halfway around the world? Want to know what you are when a nutcase with a bomb or a C-4 vest loaded with ratpoison-soaked shrapnel wants to shred you for the reward of a 72-virgins orgy in Paradise?

WE ARE ALL INFIDELS!
