From heart disease to Nobel Prize, pretty much all of us get what is coming to us. People who do not want to accept this are doomed to failure. The cause and effect system is what makes the universe function. There are of course some events that are relatively random like getting hit by meteor or being a victim of drive by random shooting or winning the lottery or stumbling upon a great fortune. But such events are too scarce. Better to study and discuss the "normal" events. Many people predicted that an event like the subway bombing would happen in London. Given that the British government knowingly continued its course given that knowledge, makes their political rhetoric for mass consumption rather disingenuous. Keep in mind that I am not passing a judgement here on whether or not they should be in Iraq; I am just saying such events are part and parcel of the package of the policy UK is pursuing, and they should stop winning about it if they wish to continue that policy.
