The Brits and our other great allies are standing with us and will not let us down.
AQ picked the wrong nation to attack this time. The Brits stuck it out through the Blitz when things looked hopeless and we were not yet involved.
In that light, I use one of the finer quotes of a very quotable Englishman who served his country during that time.
"If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Winston Churchill
God Bless the victims and their families, and let us renew our efforts to send the perpetrators to a very special part of Hell reseved for those who deliberately target innocents.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
