BBC: London bombs kill at least 50 people. What should we do now?
London- The terrorists have attacked London, but they have failed to realize that the people of the world have become even more galvanized against their cause. Terrorism has had the opposite effect: You cannot terrorize anyone without risking the complete and utter anger of the terrorized and the unity and solidarity of its victims.
Just look at Britain during WWII. Or the US after Pearl Harbor.
Violence will never achieve the desired goal.
Experts have said repeatedly that there is no way that one can stop what happened in London, or Madrid, and that it is inevitable. Time and again, authorities have said, leave security to the experts. Well, it is time to change that thinking. The general populace must be educated on how to combat terror wherever it can occur. And the training should start now.
Those of us who cherish our civil liberties know that security is just as important, because in these days, you cannot have one without the other.
