I admired the calmness and stoicism of Germans interviewed on the radio after the truck slaughter. It may not be typical, and I'm sure not universal, but I liked what I heard.

Jim wants me to try to justify why this is so admirable as opposed to weak and ineffectual.

Jim, calmness and stoicism doesn't limit some response. Panic does. I've been on sinking boats and in burning houses, and I know which sort of response I prefer to be surrounded by.

So, simply responding in a calm and stoic way is not the same as not doing anything.

The terrorists want to inspire terror. That's why we name them that way. I think it's preferable to not give them what they want.
