London bomb blasts and the Metro Police

Why the continued cowardice in picking soft targets - innocent, unarmed civilians going about their lives?
I would have thought terrorists, over the years, would have developed some sense of dignity. Obviously, I thought wrong!

Anyway, I won't dwell too much into the analyses of the bomb blasts - there are much better analyses elsewhere.
Just wanted to say that i was especially impressed by the Metropolitan Police officers fronting the news conference last night. They did a good job in honestly admitting the information they currently had, without injecting tempting speculations, relayed, clearly, plans on how to handle the situation, and, they even went so far as to speak strongly against possible connections between these attacks and Islam.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Brian Paddick, said something like, the Islam he knows does not condone terrorism and that he feels individuals who believed otherwise were sorely mistaken.

This could be a pre-emptive move to prevent discriminatory flare-ups. Nonetheless, it's a great move to show the world that Britain is calm and collected uner pressure (no finger-pointing).

Thumbs-up for the Metro Police!

Well, whatever the findings would later show, I hope these terrorists burn!! On earth, in hell and wherever else they might be (should they be reincarnated again and again)!

My heart goes out to the innocent families directly affected by the bomb blasts.
I hope they gain strength from this adversity.
