My brother-in-law was essentially walking around downtown London when the bombs went off. Thankfully, he's totally OK, but it's made today's events feel really close to home.

The massive outpouring of grief and support from around the world on September 11 was inspiring and comforting. I can only hope that the tears I shed today can provide some small fraction of that to Londoners dealing with the attacks. We are with you. We are all Brits today.

For those looking for anger or blame-casting or politics, please look somewhere else. Despite our differences, the only people to blame today are those who blew up innocent people on their way to work. There will be plenty of time for anger and politics tomorrow. Today, all I feel is a terrible, terrible sadness.
