Americans Show Support for England

I pass by the British Embassy in Washington, DC to and from work. In the wake of the London terrorist attacks that wounded more than 700, several camera crews taped in front of the Massachusetts Avenue complex as I drove by this morning. This afternoon, three young women approached the embassy's closed gates with bouquets of flowers. Covering the entrance were flowers and notes of support, with one posterboard stating: "We Stand With You." It's good that the British know who stands with them. It's more important that they know who doesn't. In the coming days, ghoulish individuals who relish civilian deaths in nations they have grievances with will emerge from the dark places they inhabit. Some of these people will be Londoners.

I thought the Union Jack at half mast was a noble touch.

Since the Revolution, we have not had a better friend and we share their pain.

Watching those horrible events on television brought tears to my eyes. I felt just as strongly about this attack as I did on 911. I guess England will always be our Mother country. An attack on the U.K. is an attack on the U.S. as far as I'm concerned. We are family and we stand with you.
