Caught in mid-Atlantic

Cafe HedonistiX has some observations on pan-global thoughts on terrorism. How can you not be suprised by this quote from an author in Spain?

There is no war against terrorism. There can be no such thing against an enemy that remains dormant most of the time and is almost never visible. It's simply another of life's inevitable troubles, and all we can do as we continue to combat it is repeat Cervantes's famous phrase "Paciencia y barajar": "Have patience, and keep shuffling the cards."
