This morning, a group of alert Israeli commuters on their way to work in Tel Aviv spotted a man who looked suspicious attempt to board the bus.

The passengers rushed the man, grabbed him and threw him off the bus. He blew himself up, killing one Israeli standing at the bus stop and slightly wounding a dozen others.

If not for the quick thinking of the bus passengers and the driver who slammed the door shut so that the terrorist could not attempt to re-board, a major massacre was prevented.

The loss of even one innocent life is a tragedy, of course. But what would have happened if this was a U.S. bus? Would the would-be bomber complain to the media and sue the bus company and all the passengers for "racial profiling" and "discrimination"?

Remember about two or so years ago, the bus driver who saw the bomb on the guys waist and used his foot to kick the guy off the bus and then slammed the door...
Where on the sidewalk, in a fit of depression and disgust at his pathetic attempt at a homicide bombing, the terrorist blew himself up without hurting anyone?
