I woke up to images of millions of people standing for two minutes in silence throughout Europe, in memory of the victims of the London bombing a week ago today. Traffic stopped, the London Underground came to a halt. The U.S. Embassy flew the British flag. Millions of people, two minutes of silence, an amazement of human dignity in the face of death. I sat at my desk scrolling through the images, looking at them through tears.
