i think comparing one groups misery to another is a pointless endeavor.
obviously england isn't in a position to invade anybody these days. ok--maybe not anybody....
tony blair is not george bush so he probably doesn't need to have his position validated by a blow job from anybody but his wife and/or mistress.
3000+ people died on 9/11. 50+ died on 7/7. to the individual families this makes no difference. however the magnitude of devastation was eons different.
air travel in this country was halted for 5days. the markets closed. england was able to keep functioning despite the horror. now to some measure that's just a credit to the resilient nature of the british. h/e, i'd say in larger measure it's a reflection of incomparable the 2 events are.
9/11 and 7/7 are vastly different but they do rhyme.
