Foreign Dispatches: What Now?
" What Now?"
That's the question asked by Abiola Lapite at Foreign Dispatches in a commentary on the July 7, 2005 bombings in London. Lapite said, "While many have wasted no time seizing upon today's attacks to fuel conspiracy theories and score cheap political points by assigning blame, I prefer to turn my energies to thinking about what the appropriate policy response to this outrage should be.
"Is there anything we can do to minimize this threat beyond staging a glorified police action, and is any such action worth taking in light of the likely costs?" he asks.
Does anyone have an answer for him?
By the way, Lapite raises interesting points in his commentary. I recommend it.
