British Prime Minister Tony Blair looks down as he waits for Group of Eight leaders to arrive for the first round table session of the summit at Gleneagles, Scotland, July 7, 2005.
Blair had recently learned of the explosions on London's transport system that killed dozens of people and caused chaos in the British capital at rush hour. The prime minister, the summit host, vowed the talks would continue despite the "barbaric attacks" and rushed back to London to be briefed by police chiefs and government officials.

We shall prevail, and they shall not."
