Thinking of our Friends in London

The Democracy Center has a good number of close friends and colleagues in London. I was just there with many of them a few weeks ago. Today we send our best thoughts out to them and the others who live in that vibrant city. It is not only those within bomb range who suffer today's events but a whole city of millions that has had normalcy changed in a heartbeat into fear and trauma.

We are working on an article related to the G-8 summit and the weekend's Live-8 concerts, but that will wait until the start of next week.
