It's barely been four months since I spent a week in London, staying in a hotel right off Russell Square where the bus attack occurred this morning. We recommended the same hotel to our friend Chris who was only there a few weeks ago. I can only imagine how terrible this morning's events must have been for all of the commuters passing through that bustling area on their way to work this morning. My sincerest condolences to the people of London and the friends and family of the victims.
Juan Cole, as usual, has a thoughtful discussion on the implications of this morning's events.
