My comment on Matt Dickenson's Post - Graduate student of Politics in Duke University
But then that is how Americans are grown up as they have never heard bombs blowing up in their back yards. And their reaction in this case is apparently justified. Contrast it with the situation in South Asia, on a frequent basis hundreds of innocents are targeted and killed in the name of ethnic cleansing (Hazara shias, ahemadias, Hindus) by the taliban in Pakistan. So if terrorists choose to hijack few planes and attack few high rises in pakistan? The aftermath reaction of pakistanis will be certainly different from Americans, and they will carry on with their lives as they happen every day and they are so used to that.
Though India has been a victim of terrorism exported by Pakistan.. In the aftermath of all such ghastardly acts there was no psychological imbalance at all. By engaging in the normal course of business Indians want to send a message to the coward terrorists and jehadis and also to their backers that "look we are least afraid of your acts". And that is how the psyche has evolved over the years.
To expect Americans to maintain the poise after such an attack of such magnitude is not fair. May be they should get used to it. But asking them to get used to is again not fair.
