In the London Eye we see indications that Londoners

at the beginning of the millennium were not

just looking back, but also forward.

It seems that whenever the best values of Western 

civilization—freedom, equality, individuality—come

under attack, their enemies strike at the place where

so many of those values took so many giant steps:

London, a powerful symbol for people around the

world,  especially after the recent Olympic games.

I hope you have enjoyed the Journey.
