The people who lived the Cold War faced the potential for the end of life, not just their life. The fear of death by terorist while harrowing cannot be measured against the fears the Cold War would turn hot. Yet we not only survived, we prospered, raised families, and triumphed. The Orlando Sentinel should take a lesson.

Exactly. Why are the markets not being shaken up by this huge, barbaric act? Because we now know who and what the enemy is and are dealing with them best we can. Their are still a big group of Londoners who remember the V2 terror attacks of Adolph Hitler no doubt.
Al Queda thinks they can cause our societies to crumble in hurting our economy. Al Queda has indeed touched and hurt all of us this way, but I am no longer afraid anymore. I am PISSED and will never forget the images of our London brothers and sisters there, or the people jumping off the World Trade Towers.
