Terrorist Attacks Do Little to Promote Terror
By now, unless you live in a cave, you've probably heard of the bombings in London. But an interesting article I read really shows the British character.From the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
"As Brits, we'll carry on - it doesn't scare us at all," said tour guide Michael Cahill, 37. "Look, loads of people are walking down the streets. It's Great Britain - not called 'Great' for nothing."
To me, that's impressive. Oh, for certain there are people worried. You'd be foolish not to be. There's concern and grief over those wounded or dead. But there's more of a pull-together attitude than the U.S. showed during that time.
Where George Bush gave his "we'll kick their asses" speech, Tony Blair gave a speech urging people not to blame the Muslims, and how they abhor the violence as much as anyone.
Of course, an attack on British soil is nothing new. Hitler, the IRA, all of them have left their mark on a people who refuse to be pushed around.
