Doesn't seem so. But you know, you and I (and Olly) are well advised
not to live in fear. Terrorism operates by sporadic attacks in the
hopes to inspire fear and panic among the rest of the population. The
chances of any one of us to be involved in a terrorist attack are
miniscule. And I say that having lived in NYC on 9/11. If we let
fear rule us, guess what, the terrorists win.

I read today Londoners are going about their business and not reacting
in the least with panic. They are to be admired and copied.

They lived thru the Blitz. They're sturdy stock and not easily shaken.


I am pretty well convinced the Brits will get to the bottom of these
threats. They did a good job rounding up the perps of the subway
attacks.

I am totally unwilling to allow the quality of life to be impacted by
panicking about Muslims. I admit to being fearful for a few weeks post
9/11 when riding the subway but then I, and most New Yorkers, said to
hell with it, we are going on with our lives.

That's the best thing anyone, anywhere can do.
One day wasted worrying about 'how' we might be killed or maimed by
terrorists is one day too many.
Since there is absolutely no one or nothing to prevent it, life just
has to go on.
Could be worse.................................we could live in Iraq.
