And more to the point, what's (sadly) become a series of routine terror attacks in the streets of Europe.  That's the real difference -- these Europe attacks have become so frequent and so routine that you really can't give it the "drop everything and rush back to the WH situation room" treatment for every one of them now.  

Europe has almost become Israel in terms of routine attacks.  Truly sad that that's the world we live in now from the onslaught of radical Islamic terrorism.
