hellisonI've been reading thro posts, communities and so on (can't concentrate on work) and I have to say I am hugely impressed - but not really surprised - at the reactions.
There is a lot of 'They won't stop us' and 'why should we give in to the fear they want to create?' and practically no 'blow up all forners instantly!, though I'm sure thats out there.
It's extremely heartening to see there's no 'omg retreat to the bomb shelters and HIDE' and much more 'lets get this sorted out so we can get back to the cricket'.
Hmm. I may not be expressing this particularly well, but keep it up!
You might not beat them with bullets and bombs in return, but refusing to be cowed by these cowardly, horrific attacks is a huge victory in itself, and reduces them to what they really are - a pointless attempt to scare you into submission.
