Remembering 7/7

Today in St. Paul's Cathedral, Londoners will gather to remember the victims of the train bombings on July 7. It's a traditional sort of event, involving as much unity against acts of terrorism as division over the causes of terrorism. But then there's this:

Seven-year-old Ruby Gray, from Ipswich, whose father Richard was killed in the Aldgate blast, is set to present a posy to the Queen.

But Ruby's 11-year-old brother, Adam, has refused to attend the ceremony because he blames the prime minister for making London a terror target, the Evening Standard reported.
How cool is that kid? So young, and yet so soft on terror. He must really hate freedom.
