Unfortunately I have to agree. We're not far behind the wimpy Brits when it comes to a backbone.Ya know, you may just be on to something there... When's the last time you heard of terrorists pulling shenanigans in Israel...twice?? Kind of like some of those "ex"-Soviet states, their approach is rather drastic and brutal, but works like a charm.
Pity that we as a country are so beholden to the bleeding hearts that we no longer have the will to make the hard choices and do what needs to be done to prevent repeat attacks. Turning the other cheek just guarantees getting blindsided again. And whining/bemoaning the attacks without serving up real consequences just encourages the terrorists.
