I'm afraid that you might be right. I am relived to see the British PM in a public address say that "enough is enough" At least she's saying the right stuff. If it were Obama he'd be bending over backwards to not offend the local Muslim community. It gives me no pleasure in saying that to be honest.
People expect their leaders to " do something"
No one knows how to fight an ideology without borders without impacting the rights and freedoms of everyone, so leaders verbally condemn.
At the end of the day, some are " relieved" when a leader says " enough is enough" as if it will make a difference.
......relatively speaking. Only 7 or 8 killed. (We lost 3,000 in one day here.)
These small attacks won't change a thing. If the Muslims kill 50,000 or more in one attack, then things might change a bit.
Your observation is a reasonable reaction to the attack and I'm sure you aren't trying to diminish the fact several people dies and many more were injured. And there's little doubt terrorists will take over the world with attacks like this.
What they are trying to do is create fear and hope that causes confusion. And it's working. When we were in Viet Nam, we'd send in a sniper to take out the leader of a cell. Once the leader was killed, the rest of the Viet Cong would go into a panic. During their confusion we'd attack and our job was much easier because their leader was gone.
Now we have a leader who is easily panicked by these attacks. And that panic weakens us and plays right into the hands of the terrorists.

Not if you lost your life or lost a loved one. Not if you are one of the injured who will suffer. Trying to minimize this is pathetic. Please tell me liberal media isn't trying to minimize this?
I don't agree with minimizing this. It's a very real, scary situation for the people in London.
However, we also don't want to over blow it. That's exactly what the terrorists want. They want us to fear them. The way I see it is if I am going to go in a terrorist attack, that is the way I am meant to go. Constantly worrying about and fearing terrorism is giving the terrorists what they want.
I would say the terrorists on 9/11, unfortunately, delivered a successful blow. Not only did they kill 3,000 people in NYC and Washington, they also started a mass panic and crackdown on civil rights that persists to this day.
These smaller attacks are not waking anyone up. We still have excuse makers out there blaming it on everything but radical Islamic terrorism, we still have people defending "refugees" pouring over the borders in to these countries, we still have media black out in the US of what is really going on over in Europe, we still have countries who criminalize someone speaking out against terrorists and "refugees", we still have people who refuse to believe what the religion teaches despite Muslims telling these people exactly what their religion teaches...
When 9/11 happened, the nation actually came together and wanted to get those who did that to us.
Does it really need to be that big again before the left gets it? (I'm not talking to the conspiracy theorists...there's no help for them.)
Do we really need to lose 3000+ or more all at once for the left to wake the hell up?
Here's a helpful guide since adding numbers seems to be difficult for some people:
We've reached beyond the 3000 killed...is the left ready to take this seriously yet? Or are they waiting on the "earth shattering 'kaboom'" before it jolts them out of their stupor?
