Two minute silence

[ciphergoth]

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

A suicide blast in Iraq that killed mostly children was in today's "oh, and by the way" section of CNN.com; the headline was the 2 minutes of silence ciphergoth mentioned above.*

I just hope things never again get as bad as what we had after Diana's death in '97. I remember watching one news programme, which was almost entirely given over to the coverage of her death (it wasn't breaking news at this point, but some time after). In the "oh by the way" section at the end, there was something along the lines of a family dying in a house fire.
