"If Europeans were separated from 9/11 by the Atlantic Ocean, Madrid (3/11), Amsterdam (1 1/2) and London (7/7) have awakened them to the reality of 21st century terrorism. The question most people are asking is not ''will there be another one?'' -- but ``who's next?''
Yet the London attacks do not appear to have pushed Europeans closer to the United States or its government's view of the world. Many are, if anything, inclined to deride the Bush administration's attitude as simplistic and belligerent, and to argue that the U.S.-led war in Iraq has provoked the Muslim world against the West.
And among themselves, Europeans are divided over how to proceed."
