Europeans have been living with terrorism for decades, the Americans have just had it shoved in their faces big-time. The reason why British streets are full of litter is because there are no litter bins. The same goes for Spain. Those security cameras aimed at everyone, everywhere, on the streets of UK aren't there to spot pickpockets and shoplifters.

There is no more danger of being killed by a terrorist on the streets of Tel Aviv than there is on the streets of London or Madrid. We have grown used to living with terrorism and the Americans will soon get used to it too. In the mean time stop bleating and worrying and waving your guns in everyone's faces. Terrorists must be faced with dignity and persistance.

Mainland USA has never been bombed and American civilians have never been under fire before, that is not the case for Europeans. So, American friends, do not dare to tell us how to deal with terrorists. We have plenty of first hand experience - for once unfortunately, we are the experts.
