The Avengers Forever: IMHO

	IMHO: 7 July 2005 Page 17 of 28

This is the decade of terror.

Roughly four years ago America suffered one of the greatest acts of terror the world has seen. Now London has been visited by the same sort of carnage. These are dark times indeed.

Politicians and political analysts will no doubt produce endless explanations for all of this. The terrorists themselves will affirm their justifications. But in the end, there is no rationalization for such madness.

I have my own theories as to why the violence is escalating, but I shall keep them to myself for they are not especially popular and, regardless, it would solve nothing by revealing them. I will only go so far as to suggest that we vigorously question our respective leaders' judgment.

When placed in the context of recent events, The Avengers is so trivial as to be practically non-existent. Out of respect for the people of Great Britain, this website will not be updated for at least one month.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families and friends.
