81. I guess that this and Dean's statement should be critcized as well
I guess the rest of the world is wrong and a few DUers only are right, if I have to believe some people here.

U.N. Condemns London Terror Strikes

By NICK WADHAMS, Associated Press Writer 44 minutes ago

UNITED NATIONS - Just hours after a series of explosions in London, the
U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to condemn the terrorist attacks and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.

Secretary-General
Kofi Annan echoed that sentiment.

"These vicious acts have cut us all to the core, for they are an attack on humanity itself," Annan said in a statement. "Today, the world stands shoulder to shoulder with the British people."

A resolution approved by the council condemned "without reservation the terrorist attacks in London ... and regards any act of terrorism as a threat to peace and security." It urged all states to cooperate in finding and bringing to justice the perpetrators and expressed the council's "utmost determination to combat terrorism."

The council expressed sympathy for the victims of the four blasts that rocked London earlier Thursday. Police said at least 37 people were killed in the explosions and hundreds injured.


...

Several ambassadors expressed their support for Britain and denounced the attacks.

"No cause can justify the killing of civilians," Algeria's Ambassador Abdallah Baali said. "It's obvious that these people want to distract the attention of the international community from the real problems and we can only reject such acts."
