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.

In any case, I think it's a bit harsh to lay any culpability on the soldiers for this particular incident (I know you're not blaming them - just saying). I think giving out sweets is actually a decent thing for them to be doing, PR exercise or not.
