The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Whenever Yeats comes up, the Smiths run through my head. A nod to my alt-brit musical youth.....
"A dreaded sunny day, so I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side, while Wilde is on mine"
Although I am not as earnest as Wilde, nttawwt.

Bombs, plane-bombs, suicide bombs, to me its six of one, half dozen the other. The end result is a terrorist attack in the name of "God" commited by religions zealot/terrorists.
