Chapter 489

The world was shocked by the terrorist bombing in London. Terrorism was nothing new, but someone had gotten their hands on a nuclear weapon. It seemed likely that May 13th would become synonomous with terror. President Wilkins issued a statement offering solidarity with England.

.

Wilkins: The hearts and prayers of the American people are with the people of England today. I offer you full cooperation in tracking down the lawless terrorists responsible, and our support with whatever military retaliation you see fit. Our countries have been through much, but we will persevere. We will not be beaten. I want to make it clear to both our friends, and our enemies, the United States of America stands firmly with England. You are either with us, or you are our enemies. It's a whole new ballgame, but sides must be chosen. There is no room for neutrals anymore. Choose a side, and choose wisely.
