A Difficult Morning

Memories of 9/11 crossed my mind as I watched the news this morning on the London bombings. Tragedy on the world stage affects us all. I feel for the victims. I feel for the people in London living through a scary day. I'm angry with the people who commit these crimes. News of the event rocked financial markets, as well. The FTSE (the London Exchange) dropped 3%. The G8 Summit has been interrupted. Wall Street, surprisingly, has only fallen 1/2% on the news. I hold my breath, but I feel the resolve of people everywhere to overcome. I don't know who "they" are, but I know "they" will NOT win!
