I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here. It's very sad that many innocent people were killed in these bomb blasts but why is it front page news around the world just because it happened in London? There are a number of other places in the world where this type of thing happens every day (and has done for years) but hardly rates a mention. I'm not condoning terrorism it only seems newsworthy if it happens somewhere in the Western world.

Interesting juxtaposition isn't it. 2000lb laser guided bomb destroys an entire housing block in Baghdad, it's a 'War on Terror'. The same thing happens in one of the "Co-Alition of the Willing" countries and it is suddenly 1000 times worse.

Death anywhere is still death, Innocents anywhere are still innocents.

Fair call old chap.

Let's hope that Sydney is never targetted.

Australia shouldnt get sucked into Middle East turmoil caused by the Yanks and, to a lesser extent of late, the Brits.

Yes - Australian media has a certain kinship with the US and UK, both English speaking Western consumer societies (to extent of "disrupting normal programs" )- and understandably so: It scares the crap out of us that it could happen here! Happens every day in Israel, Iraq and other parts of the world....

In response to an earlier post that Bush might flatten the Middle East - That'll never happen because of 3 letters.... O...I...L.

Condolences to all those affected.
