"the heroic mujahedeen carried out a blessed attack in London, and now Britain is burning with fear and terror, from north to south, east to west."

Who knows if this is from the bastards who did the bombing, or from another bunch of extremist idiots who think it's clever. Either way, they've certainly given the British a good laugh. They know nothing about the people they're trying to hurt. Fear and terror? After the Blitz and thirty years of IRA terrorism, my home town knows a thing or two about maniacs insisting on pushing their vision of the world on everybody else.

As far as I can tell, there does seem to be rather little in the way of fear or terror going on. The basic attitude seemed to be summed up by a woman on the radio being interviewed by a pushy reporter.

Reporter: How does it make you feel? Are you angry? Confused?
Woman: *pause* Well... it does make you a bit cross.

It's interesting seeing how terrorism just doesn't work on people who aren't surprised by it. It didn't change anything in the Spanish election, and it doesn't seem to be having any noticeable effect on the British. But it's been remarkably effective in provoking the USA into such a state that they've apparently abandoned all efforts to fight terrorism and are wasting enormous amounts of money shooting at shadows.
