Two Minutes for the United Kingdom
During 9/11 and after, Britain stood with us.
Today they observed -- with Germany, France and Italy -- a two minute silence in commemoration of last week's bombing dead.
Since our country did not see fit to join in that commemoration, I ask that you take two minutes today to think of those that died, and the many ways Britain has been a good friend to us.

Thanks for posting this, M.
We're now in shock again here because the atrocities were perpetrated by British suicide bombers and we know who they were and what they looked like. They're not faceless monsters any longer.

You are right. We should have joined it. I'll take your advice.

seriously? the US didn't observe it? i'm quite shocked somehow...

It saddens me that we didn't observe a moment of silence. And we wonder why the rest of the world hates us. Our ethnocentrism continues to grow every day!
