On the London Bombings

I followed the news of the terror attacks while at a family reunion in northern Ohio. I have no idea what the long term response of the English people will be. My hope is that these event will stiffen their resolve to stand firm against Islamic terrorism. There is one thing I am sure of, however, and that is that the English are very, very fortunate to have Tony Blair still running their government.

He packs far more backbone and is far more resourceful than people give him credit for, and I don't think he'll be out of office nearly as soon as anyone expects. Blair's enemies, I believe, perform the same exercise of "misunderestimating" him as the lefty Dems often do with George W. Bush in the United States.
