THANKS to columnist Shuiab Khan for his excellent, well balanced article concerning the recent London bombings (LET, July 8).

Sadly aren't we reaping a bit of what our 'rawkish' politicians have sown, instead of acting through the UN?

It's so ironic that this wicked act has probably targeted people of different cultures and creeds, who may have campaigned for civil rights and may have been part of the pre anti Iraq march -- for peace.

Whatever the cause protesters are claiming, man's inhumanity to man continues.
