In your Reader Mail section, Dr. Rosa responds to Jacob Laksin's "Europe Talks Terrorism" by scolding the United States in saying: "Europeans have been the aim of terrorists' attacks for the last 30-40 years, so we are used to it, and we know a whole lot more about it." He goes on to assert that we will still be fumbling in Iraq when they've solved it.

p>Admitting that Europeans can't solve a terrorist problem they've been working on for 40 years isn't just fumbling, it's pathetically incompetent. br> -- Tom Reynolds br> Wharton, New Jersey /p>

Dr. Rosa proudly states, "Europeans have been the aim of terrorists' attacks for the last 30-40 years, so we are used to it, and we know a whole lot more about it. So if you're not happy with the way we deal with it, just sit back and watch."

Ironically, tragically actually, Dr. Rosa believes that our taking action "accordingly," when we're attacked, is inferior to their getting "used to it." Does he not understand that getting "used to it," or sitting back and watching, is an entirely unacceptable avenue for Americans?

Less than three years after we were unceremoniously dragged into the fray, we've set 50 million souls on the road to freedom, while Dr. Rosa wonders why we're not happy with the way they've been dealing, or avoiding dealing, with it for four decades. This is "Twilight Zone" material.

p>Dr. Rosa, we don't roll over for decades when we're attacked, why do you? br> -- Mark Hessey
