Britain Going Back to Sleep?

Mark Steyn asks the question whether Britain will simply go back to sleep after the dust settles from the latest London terrorist attacks.

This is the beginning of a long existential struggle. It's hard not to be moved by the sight of Londoners calmly going about their business as usual in the face of terrorism. But, if the political class goes about business as usual, that's not a stiff upper lip but a suicide cult.

The question now is will the British return to the fantasy agenda of Bob Geldof or avenge their dead?

Meanwhile, Indepundit says that the BBC has gone back to banning the use of the term "terrorist" in favor of "bomber."
