It seems to me that we ought to make news of the terrorists' failure. So far, we have more of the "usual" -- a bombing on an Israeli bus, explosions in Baghdad, and an assassination attempt on Musharraf.
Frankly, I think the attack on Musharraf is the most important. I have an theory (concocted in my head and only there) that it means we are getting close to Osama in that no man's land between Pakistan and Afghanistan and his supporters are trying to create chaos in Pakistan to make it harder for us.
France has grounded 6 flights and maybe that prevented something and maybe it was just an overreaction by the French.
Still, we continue to travel and shop and go to services.
