A few thoughts on the recent attacks in London

If the attacks are indeed due to al Qaida and they are being strategic about it, then they should avoid direct attacks on U.S. soil in order to prevent a rally of support for U.S. troops in Iraq. Attacking the U.K. and Spain makes sense as part of an effort to demoralize U.S. allies in Iraq and provoke isolation of the U.S.A.

It may be a coincidence, but 2005 is numerologically equivalent to 7. Thus, 7-7-2005 becomes 7-7-7. Perhaps the chosen date was passed along via a coded phrase along the lines of "the luckiest day of the attack", hiding the numerological interpretation within what would appear to be merely a metaphor.

Going out on a limb, perhaps there was deliberate irony in attacking upon what would normally be a very auspicious day.
