JF, When you say things like "Not if, but when" you giving them exactly what they want. I don't see it that way. I see it as a call to action. You are the one interpreting the words as an attitude of defeatism, which ironically takes a defeatist attitude to begin with. For a second imagine if terrorist attacks were never reported, no one knew about them. There would be no more terrorism. They don't give a rats ass about the people they kill, one way or another. They care about how everyone else reacts. And the reaction they are looking for is "Not if, but when". So when Spain pulled out of Iraq as a result of 3/11, they "triumphed" over terrorism because they didn't bother to ask "Not if, but when." So when Hamas continually sent suicide bombers to Israel and Israelis pretty much accepted terrorism as a way of life, Hamas "won" because Israel's acceptance is another form of the "Not if, but when" defeatism. And when the news media floods the headlines with the London bombings, just like they did with 9/11, they were aiding and abetting the terrorists because they gave the terrorists exactly what they wanted: a forum. Your anger is misdirected. Tenchusatsu

They care about how everyone else reacts. And the reaction they are looking for Actually I tend to agree with you in a way. Without the "World Stage" to perform on all that sick sh.. would no doubt be non existent. The only problem I see here: How could this perfect venue of performance be made non accessible to the terrorists? Takes us right back to Perfect Censorship of some kind. Or could you imagine that all media WW would agree on staying mum about such events? Not a very practical solution. Taro
