7/7 turns 7 today

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last seven years, 7/7 was a bombing that involved three underground trains and one bus in London. A similar attack was carried out on four different vehicles two weeks later. But let's get onto something more serious: An Argentinian court has found two former dictators guilty of stealing dozens of babies during the country's dirty war. Jorge Rafael Videla, who ruled as a dictator between 1976 to 1981, was sentenced to 50 years in prison. General Reynaldo Benito Bignone, who ruled the country from June 1982 until the nation's return to democracy in December 1983, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. They were the two most high-profile defendants found guilty on Thursday of systematically stealing babies from political prisoners and giving them new identities. It's about time those child-snatchers got their just deserts. Those dictators needed to be taught a lesson. For any citizen who lives in a country where actions like this do not remain unpunished with the passage of time, the guilty verdicts represent a guarantee that justice is done.
