Our Ally Attacked
Glenn Reynolds has put up an extensive post relating to the terror attacks in London. He has posted emails from London.
Update
Right now, reports are saying that there were anywhere from 4 to 7 explosions.
John Griffin posts from London.
James:
According to Sky News, 45 have been killed and 1000 injured in the 4 London blasts.
Jason Lefkowitz talks about terrorist tactics.
The British people's response to this should be the same as that of the Spanish public. Kick out the leaders who took us into the war on Iraq.
Appeasement is still alive and well. And wrong.
I had dreaded this day. For almost 4 years, Blair has been resolute in his support for the Fourth World War. The Islamists had made striking attacks on NYC, Australian tourists, Spaniards, and Russian children. Our closest ally had yet to be directly harmed. Today, the evil reached London.
Londoners suffered horribly during the Blitz in the 1940s. Many had their residences completely destroyed. Night after night they were attacked. But their spirit only hardened. They persevered, had trust in their great Prime Minister, and eventually repaid the Germans tenfold.
Like them before us, we will never surrender.
There will be no widespread harassment of various minorities in the UK. Just like there wasn't any in the US after 9/11. Why? Because the people of Great Britain know that the Islamist terrorists responsible for the barbarity on July 7, 2005 will have hell to pay. Sadly, much blood and tears will be shed. But there is no doubt in my mind. The Americans, the Brits, the Aussies, and the Allies will thoroughly crush the wretched enemy of Western Civilization.
Update II
Reaction from an office in London.
More from London: Under Attack.
Jo Salmon:
Having chatted to my uncle in America on MSN who didn’t know anything about the bomb attacks, I thought I’d do a brief round up of how the world’s press is reporting the incidents…

La Shawn Barber has posted her round up: Terror in London!
Update III
Tim Blair:
Australian Labor Party leader Kim Beazley: “This is an attack on our family.”
The reckoning will come.
I imagine Britain won't be cowed by this.
Typical reactions from the Left. Expected reactions from the anti-idiotarians.
This news via Power Line:
I have just spoken to a source very close to Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu was scheduled to speak later today at an economic conference in a London hotel directly above the site of one of the subway explosions.
"The explosion happened just beneath the hotel at the same time the meeting with businessman interested in investing in Israel was expected to begin," said an aide to Netanyahu.
