As far as terrorist attacks go, this wasn't a huge one, just a larger one than the British are accustomed to. Yet it's drawn a gret deal of support for the English and their efforts against terrorism from pretty much all over the world. I find it interesting that whenever a western country is attacked, everyone's heart bleeds and rousing speeches are made by all sorts of people. When something of a greater magnitude happens in say Russia or in East Asia, people mostly dismiss it or try to justify the terrorists. Americans are still bitching about 9/11 even though since then not a single American was killed within the United States by terrorists. In non-western countries terrorist activies occur in greater frequency and magnitude, often carried out by the same people who attack the west, but hardly anyone gives a damn. Things work that way sometims I guess.
