London calling to the faraway towns... British PM Tony Blair has risen to the occasion, standing tall as a statesman in the face of today's cowardly terrorist attacks in London. An AP piece even compares Blair's manner to that of Winston Churchill. "In his address, Blair harkened back to the "Blitz spirit" that saw Londoners through the dark days of Nazi bombing during the Second World War - and, by association, to wartime prime minister Winston Churchill, whose determined, moving speeches helped steel the resolve of Britain and the Empire."
