We did deal with it, with about as much indifference as 3000 deaths over four states in a single blow could allow. But initially, there was remarkably little psychotic claptrap.
Most of the New Yorkers I know were upset, but coping. However, in parts of the country least likely to be a target, people were panicking in inverse proportion to their actual risk. At the moment, Americans in general seem to be far more upset by this than the British--who, after all, are more used to bombs on trains than we are.
