There but for the grace of God go I

Bit of a shock this week - a bomb went off in the city centre. It went off in a restaurant toilet, but this was seemingly premature and by accident. The only injuries were to the man carrying the bomb - 'sources' say he has lost his sight. Whilst there is a bit of 'serves him right' with it, it is also a bit tragic, as he is apparently mentally ill, and was preyed upon by religious extremists. THAT is the really shocking bit, that there are so many weak/ vulnerable people out there, just ripe for this kind of thing. At the end of the day, you just cannot prepare for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and if someone is prepared to die for a cause - you cannot protect yourself against it.
