Terrorism is the word of the day (the week? the month? the century?)

London is looking for the terrorists, police are shooting Brazilian electricians in thick coats (note to self: do not wear a thick coat on the London subway), Egypt has arrested about a hundred people and is looking for some Pakistani terrorists (did they mubarak the homegrown ones into extintion already? what are the Pakistanis doing there? did they indeed decide that Egypt stole Kashmir from them? is it a coincidence that the bomb exploded on a national holiday?), a bomb injured a man in Cairo (a terrorist's "workplace injury"?), Hamas keeps attacking Israel (trying to stop Gaza pullout? trying to prove that they are badder bad guys than Islamic Jihad?) and bombs blow up in Iraq so often that one wonders how come they still have some population left.

New York instituted random checks on the subway without any kind of profiling. Gotta watch out for the Baptist and Buddhist terrorists too, you know.

Today is ten years since terrorists blew up the first bombs in Paris subway/local train station at St. Michel. Surely they anticipated the no-veil policy or something. Those were not suicide bombers, and they are still serving their life sentences.

Today three people threw bottles of hydrochloric acid into a Jewish school in Paris. Nobody was hurt.

Hope the terrorists are too dumb to know of Finland's existence.
