QUOTE DU JOUR
It is worth recalling London Mayor Ken Livingstone's stirring warning to terrorists of one year ago:Nothing you do, however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail.
