Sorry to inform you, but they ar not cowerds. It's a simple thing, wich i am not shure if the american and the english people understands it. well, as americans and brittish continue to fight a so called "antiterorism" war, the only thing they do is to strength the muslim's belive that they must retal by all means. And as you can see today, killing 10-15 insurgents in Iraq is by far not so effective as blowing the tube up! Cose what the terorists want is to weaken the support from the people for the wars. So, it's very simple: the create a big disconfort among the cittizens, so they'll force theyr own governemment to back of from this war and to live thm alone.

it's quite simple!

As i said, the biggest problem of the westerns is that they fail to understand muslim and the fact that all people in this world have rights, not only th americans and theyr allays.

The bombing has beed revendicated by this site: https://www.qal3ah.org/vb/index.php?/vb

translation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Londo ... explosions

casualties:

"CNN, the BBC and ITV News have confirmed 2 fatalities at Aldgate Station. At least 90 casualties have been reported from Aldgate Station alone. All major London hospitals have been placed on alert, and are currently not accepting non-emergency cases. 95 casualties were taken by bus to the Royal London Hospital where they are being treated; 10 are in critical condition. Many others are being treated at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. Individuals who are wounded and walking are being treated at the scene. Paramedics have been sent down into the tube system to search for more casualties. St. John Ambulance "was called out to assist the London Ambulance Service". [6]. An eyewitness reported that they were "operating on injured people on the concourse at Liverpool Street station." [7]. Hospitals had to call in off-duty staff.

BBC interviewed a doctor at the site of the bus explosion in Tavistock Square who said that 10 people had died there, though this remains unconfirmed.

Recent reports state that 300 casualties are being treated in hospital and 150 of those are in a serious condition. Many are foreign nationals.

Emergency services have told CNN that there are "double digit" fatalities still underground at King's Cross.

A Government spokesman is talking of 20 people dead. "

On the contrary a lot of westerns do understand the situaition .
However I think you will find that all this will cause is a total mistrust of all muslims in the uk and very possibly reprisal attacks on muslim communities and shops ,
not that I condone or support either of these actions having a lot of close personal friends who are of the muslim faith , but people, who are now rightfully scared for their lives , will seek to protect and revenge themselves by removing what they see as the threat (i.e. all muslims),

as usual only the innocent will suffer on both sides by these terrorist actions
