"They're bombing London..."

From the amazing high of celebrating the London 2012 bid win. The father of one of our circus freaks is an Olympic-medal-winning, Commonwealth Games champion, multi-decorated former athlete and sports promoter/administrator. He's very highly placed in the London bid team that beat the odds and pipped Paris for the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics on Wednesday night (Perth time). So naturally....several of us had celebratory cocktails late that night after the win. Boy, it was fun for me to have the chance to talk Olympics with some folks who actually knew something about it!

To one of those do-you-remember-where-you-were-when-you-heard-the-news moments. I was at my desk and one of my team members walked in to tell me, "Have you heard the latest news? They're bombing London...."

And you wonder how lives could change so dramatically for those poor commuters caught the wreckage of a post-jubilant Thursday morning.

How can people can inflict this pain upon others?
