Personal thoughts on recent events

Well, it's bandwagon time for me. This is the first (new) post of many that'll be indexed on Technorati, for easier searching and comparison with others.
I hope that the entries in my blog over the course of the days during and after the London bombs will help to remind people that although this world is possibly safer than ever before, the fight that our armed forces have taken to places far overseas - be it 'legal', justified or otherwise, is a dangerous and life-threatening task to be undertaking in the name of freedom of choice and expression, and I have immense pride for those who undertake their roles as part of a greater whole, the Army, the Navy, the RAF, helping other countries towards a goal which at the moment still seems a long way away. They do their role, sometimes with doubt but never stepping down from the challenge, and they work as a whole and help each other. I'm not saying that what they're doing is either right or wrong on a moral or legal level, but we shouldn't forget that these guys are risking their lives daily in conditions far worse than those experienced in London recently.

I'm also going to try and keep the videos I've published on the web there for as long as possible, several people have already told me they found them very interesting and a timely snapshot of the events that occurred, so for the benefit of others they'll stay there. See the previous posts (down the page) for links to videos (I might compile them into one post, and add some more too, in a while).
