Asked scared Londoners as they warily returned to work.

Not exactly a portrait of a easily spooked citizenry. My guess is that years of dealing with the IRA has made it harder to turn Britons into rage-filled non-surrender monkeys.
With pictures like this, one has to wonder why the cable news nets have to go all out with the dark red "TERROR" graphics and non-stop coverage. Seems to me that the British are dealing with this just fine. Nonetheless, the news nets assume Americans need to feel like they're not alone. So the terror/fear/bombing/terror/fear pieces must air. But alas, Hurricane Dennis was enough to get CNN to stop the wall to wall London attack coverage. What will Paula talk about now? The sharks again?
