I wasn't going to post on this today, as I didn't have much to offer about the horrors in London except my sincerest hopes that the pigs who did it are caught as soon as possible. If some of them suffer fatal injuries while "resisting" arrest, so much the better.

I decided to look at Mark Steyn's website to see if he'd had anything to say. There was a note saying that he would be on Hugh Hewitt's radio show in the afternoon (transcript here) and that he would have a new column out at midnight in the Telegraph.

Immediately below that, though, was a link to a piece he'd written for the Spectator, dated for Saturday of this week, but obviously written a couple of days ago. As always, the man's prescience is eerie:

It feels like summer. Summer 2001, that is. Then, as now, Africa was in the news. There was a big UN conference on �racism� in Durban the week before 11 September. Remember that? They demanded America pay reparations � for the Rwandan genocide. And Robert Mugabe was cheered to the rafters when he called on the United States and the United Kingdom to �apologise unreservedly for their crimes against humanity�.

...

at Ground Zero and in Hyde Park, we�ve taken four years to come back to where we were on 10 September 2001.

Here's the link to it. (Registration required; or you could try this login / password combo from Bug Me Not: lagd3@cam.ac.uk / password )

Now go get the bastards who did this.
