Germany isn't getting too worked up about some failed terrorism attempt. You might be getting a wrong picture from this article. And I should know because I am riding that particular train every day.

And "Why do they hate us?" seems like a pretty american question to me. There's a million of reasons to hate us. And I don't acknowledge one of them.

It sounds as though you're fortunate that the bombs didn't go off.

Next time you may not be so lucky.

Swell. I suppose it will take real blood and real mangled bodies on a train platform to get them "worked up".

Then they'll probably blame President Bush.

Oddly missing from that article, mention of Ahmadinejad's letter to PM Merkel. Planting some suitcase bombs isn't the jihadist way, is it? If they were state sponsored, would planting them be a *clear* case of an act of war? What if they were not set to go off?

I don't think we're getting the wrong picture from the article. A good portion of Americans see the whole WoT as a case of Orwell's permanent state of war. I'd expect about the same in Germany.
