The only bombs I grew up worrying about were the ones that sprouted mushrooms. Like 4th I don't worry about terrorists (of course here in the home of the broke and land of the freaked were supposed to be afraid Be very afraid) but then unlike you Brits we haven't got the experience have we? Afterall geting blowed-up and blowed up good was a far greater risk during the (centuries long?) flap with the Irish then here on the Big Water where I dock. The picture that always is the hardest for me to see is the one of the little chinese infant crying sitting on a road surrounded by flame and destruction. I only hope that the git who snapped that film picked the wee bairn up and took it to safety after getting that heart rending shot.
