...how internationally we can comment on what not to do:

"Frankly it doesn't matter whether he is a Muslim or not, he is a human being."
"It is human lives that are being targeted whether by terrorists or whether in this case unfortunately, by people who are supposed to be chasing or catching the terrorists."

"LONDON — Police identified the man who was chased down in a subway and shot to death by plainclothes officers as a Brazilian and said Saturday they no longer believed he was tied to the recent terror bombings."

"I saw a chap run on to the train," Whitby said. "He was running so fast he half sort of tripped. He was being pursued by three guys. One had a black handgun in his hand."
"As he sort of went down, two of them sort of dropped on to him to hold him down, and the other one fired. I heard five shots."

I don't believe this incident on the same day got much press:

"Meanwhile, police cordoned off a mosque in east London following a bomb threat.
Mohammed Abdul Bari, chairman of the East London Mosque, said the bomb threat came in a telephone call Friday morning. A bomb squad was sent to the mosque."

Naturally, because this comes from the Aljazeera site there are alot of you reading this who would consider this information suspect. Investigate it then...it's true.
I don't claim to have the answers but I can't help but think that fighting terror with more terror just multiplies terror. How can that improve the situation? It just doesn't make sense to me. There has to be another way, hasn't there?
