Winning A Battle Of Wills

By David Ignatius
Wednesday, July 13, 2005; Page A21

The real threat posed by last week's brutal bombings in London is that 
the Muslim terrorists who apparently planted the bombs still think they 
can win. Breaking that psychology is the fundamental challenge for 
responsible leaders in the West and the Muslim world.

<>Compare the first statements from both sides, and you can see the 
essential battle of wills. A group calling itself the Secret 
Organization of al Qaeda in Europe posted a triumphal statement 
immediately after the London attacks last Thursday, claiming that 
"Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic." That was untrue, 
as anyone watching Londoners on television could see. But the attacks 
showed the determination and resourcefulness of the terrorist underground.
