"London knows as well as any city in the world what it's like to live with
the threat of terror. From 1981 to 1996, the Irish Republican Army carried
out a series of bombings in public places in London ranging from small
pubs
to huge office buildings. Separately, government officials were murdered,
kidnapped and beaten.

I remember doing business in London during those years. I remember the
police checkpoints along the roads leading into The City - London's
equivalent of Wall Street - where cars were routinely searched for
explosives. It slowed things down, but life went on."

Salute to them all!


From a wannabe who monitors this group daily, many thanks for all the kind
thoughts.

Steve.
