So, after decades of being taught not to defend themselves on a personal level - to "let the authorities handle it" - this morning four suicide bombers set off bombs in London mass transit. Two weeks after they did this and killed dozens. The bombs, thankfully, didn't go completely off. Thus, the suicide bombers weren't killed.

But, they got away. It's difficult to imagine that happening in this country - our problem is that they'd all be dead anyway from passersby before they could be interrogated. It's really stunning to me that no one is coming forward with tales of how ordinary citizens wrestled with and overcame determined terrorists after their bombs failed to go off. One report does state that "Some people tried to stop [a bomber]," but apparrently this consisted of simply asking "What's all this then?" because the conclusion is "...but he ran out."
