I find it hard to breathe as I write this next sentence. Tony Blair is right when he warns that since the rise of al-Qa'ida, the world faces dangers which are extraordinary and prodigious, protean and various, fatal yet unstoppable.

As you know, I think the bombers and plotters wrecking the spirit of London are scum - men without hearts or heads who, after they have been properly tried, should be put away for life.
