Ted Coppel said
"Take a look at what has been happening this past week.  With a conference call. Al quiida has effectly shut down 20 US embassies around North Africa and the middle east.There will continue to be a specific threat There will continue to be terrorism as it has been for as long as Human history exists. Terrorism is simply the weapon by which the weak engage the strong. What they do is they cause the strong - in this case us  - to overreact."

KT McFarland commented "It's not overreaction or under-reaction, it's incompetent reaction."
