couldn't deliver on any of it. >> all right pretty depressing thoughts to wrap up on. that does it for this hour. i'm nicole wallace. "mtp daily" starts right now with katy tur. >> if it's wednesday, the clouds darken after another presidential tweet storm. tonight, governing, from terrorism to the travel ban. how seriously should people take his tweets? >> i think they matter that it gives him a communications tool that isn't filtered through media bias. >> plus, don't forget paris. we'll hear from al gore about what is next this his fight after the paris climate accord. >> we would have a boost if we had not isolated the u.s., if the president hadn't isolated the u.s. from the rest of the

world. >> plus, why president trump is once again taking aim at the obama white house. >> they didn't know what the hell they were doing. >> this is "mtp daily" and it starts right now. >> good evening. i'm katy tur in for chuck todd. welcome to "mtp daily." we begin the fallout from the president's frenzied, fuming tweet. after pledging sol dwart the u. krs, the president rimmed into the mayor, he tweeted, pathetic excuse. he had to think fast on his no reason to be alarmed statement. that is the second nile two days that president trump has mischaracterized the mayor's comments that there is, quote, no reason to be alarmed.

khan wasn't talk about the terror attack. he was talking about increased police presence. >> just like terrorists constantly finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us, the police and all of russ finding new ways to keep us safe. londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. no reason to be alarmed. >> the white house was pressed on this issue today during press briefing. their the president directly misrepresented what the mayor of london said. >> i don't think that's true. i think the media wants to spin it that way. >> he's saying there was no reason to be alarmed on an attack on the city? do you think that's what he was saying? >> the point is there is a reason to be alarmed. we have constant attacks going. on not just there but across the globe and we have to start putting national security and global security at an all time

high. president trump has been very clear, that's his priority and he is not away from it. >> the president responded with a series of tweets about his travel ban which is currently held up in the courts. today he said people, the lawyers, the courts can call it whatever they want. to me it is a travel ban. this goes against what was previous said about his policy. >> this is not a travel ban. this is a temporary pause allows to us better review the refugee visa and vetting system. >> part of what we're trying to do is make sure people actually understand what happened, what the process was and what the order actually does. when we use words like travel ban, that misrepresents what it is. it is not a travel ban. >> today white house's argument seemed much more vague. >> i don't think the president cares what you call it. whether you call it a ban or a

restriction. he cares that we call it national security and we take steps to protect the people of this country. >> mr. trump slammed his own justice department on twitter saying they should have stayed with the original travel ban. not the watered down politically correct version they submitted to the supreme court. the president spinld revised travel ban. he did not have to. but he wasn't done. he then seemed to undercut the purpose saying in any event, we are extreme vetting people coming into the u.s. to keep our country safe. the courts are slow and political. these statements are going to make it more difficult for the administration's lawyers, as they argue their case in court. but here's the bottom line. the president mischaracterized the london mayor, turned a terror attack into a political talking the point and disseminated information with the unfolding tragedy using a drudge report headline. this comes after the president recently called an incident in the philippines terror attack.

but authorities later said it was likely a robbery attempt. the associated press had a brutal lead fact the president. president trump can't be counted on to give accurate information to americans when violent rackets unfolding abroad. so what happens if there is an attack here at home? i'm joined by the senior national security analyst who was bush 43's national security adviser. he is also a senior adviser at the center for strategic and international studies. thank you for joining us. >> i really do want to focus on the issue of trust. that ap lead really got down to it. the president is tweeting out unverified reports from drudge in the moments after a terror attack, before the uk even comes out and blames it only. if he's talking about the philippines and calling on it terror, when the philippines said it was likely a robbery attack, do you trust the president if he comes out and gives a statement on twitter?

>> well, i think the problem is, the president acting as the first witness in the first, providing the first testimonial as to what's happening. one of the first things you learn in the white house is you have to take breath, a breather to understand what facts are unfolding. there's always the fog of war whenever an attack is unfolding or a crisis is emerging. so the president being the first fact witness is naefr good idea. and you always counsel a president not to get ahead of the facts or to convey things if a way that he will to have retract later. ultimately you want the confidence of the american government, the government has to be trusted in a time of crisis to explain what's sxhapg frankly the president's judgment that has to be front and center when he asks the country to sacrifice or even in the worst-case scenario, to go into conflict. so preserving that confidence is

critical. you don't want to whittle that away needlessly. >> do you think the president trusts his own national security visors? does he trust the intelligence community? he tweets out a drudge report headline. he should have the best information of anybody in this country. he has a whole national security team behind him that are in effect talking to intelligence officers overseas. what does that say to you? does that say that he doesn't trust them? or is he trying to capitalize politically by tweeting out scare tactics? >> well, i think unfortunately, it seems like the president hasn't fully realized that the bureaucracy, the diplomatic core, the intelligence community, the law enforcement community, his national security apparatus and his closest advisers are there to serve him and the executive, and to give him the best information

possible to tee up the best options in a time of crisis, and frankly, then to help him make good decisions. he seems to at times undermine the credibility of his own actors. i think he obviously has his own voice and wants to get it out there via twitter. and it is obviously in furtherance of a political narrative that is to the president's advantage. i would hope the president realizes that the advisers he brought on, that lead to agencies intended to serve him, are there to aid him and the country in furtherance of the best decision possible. and if i were advising him, i would say, take the best advice of the great advisers you've brought on board. your cabinet secretaries, folks line h.r. mcmaster, for whom i have the greatest deal of affection and respect. and listen to them and take a breather. especially in a motel of crisis like this where an ally like the british need to hear the trust

and confidence of their most important ally, and where we don't need to get into a political fist 5:30 with the mayor of london. >> can americans trust president? >> i think we need to. and i think we need president to succeed. he is our president afterall. >> do you trust the president? >> well, i think we need to look for signs that he is worthy of that trust. and i think part of it is relying on his key advisers, his key cabinet secretaries, and that he is actually listening to the information being provided to him. i want to trust the president. i want to support him. and i think we need him to successes succeed. otherwise we have a crisis of confidence that will be very dangerous in a moment of crisis for the united states. if we were to have a terrorist attack in the homeland or god for bid we were to go to conflict with a country like north korea. >> i hate to put you on the spot, juan, but that was not quite a yes. >> i think we need him to

succeed. that's my bottom line. >> thank you. appreciate it. let's bring in the panel. amy holmes, bill frist, analyst, elise jordan has worked for the state department, the national security council and the rand paul campaign, thank you so much. juan was being diplomatic, to put it lightly. he had a hard time saying yes, i do trust the president. >> well, the president hasn't shown himself to be worthy of trust by putting out so much false information and by being an embarrassment to his response in the attacks in london and showing a side of his character that really makes you question the human, basic human d.c. enspi we should have to our strong friends and allies. >> what do you make of him going after mayor sadiq khan?

>> well, the mayor had tweeted a year ago something unflat ordering the mr. trump. >> is it appropriate to go after the mayor at this time? >> i think the important point was made with political capital. that's something that is very precious and very easily whittled away. >> on the question of trust, i would say there are a lot of voters who do trust that president trump realizes the threat facing the united states of america. the previous president called isis jv. it grew under his watch and a lot of people didn't trust the previous president when it came to the severe national security threat. >> why does it always devolve into how you couldn't trust the last president? >> i think you're asking a question of trust that involves a number of things including trusting someone's judgment in terms of their political priorities. and i think president trump prioritizes national security in a way that can be trusted. >> what is your take?

>> i'm just speechless. this has gone beyond lunacy. when a person has, when you can't trust a person and they can't control what come out of their mouth, they usually get help and the person in the white house is not getting that help. when you have a city that's attacked, to misrepresent the mayor of that city's remarks is recommend rehencible and disrusting. i don't know how you can defend defending that. when people say the president should be trusted and the voters trust him, look he's done. look what he said. like iley in a city like any number of people and there are times we have to go report, whether it is a times square car accident, we don't know if it is a terrorist attack, or you're hearing mayor explain what's going on. you need accurate information to know what's going on. to have the president tweet out sources, after he calls on

supporters, that reporters are the enemy of the people. >> it sounds like, if he were to come out and say something after a terrorist attack, you would have a hard time trusting what he said. >> i don't think we should be discussing if we had a terrorist attack here. >> why not? >> that's what this is all about. fwhs terrorist attacks. >> it is almost as if there's some goading going on here if we had -- that's not something anyone should wish -- >> no one is wishing form. >> well, there was discussion yesterday that president trump was provoking a terrorist attack. >> we noted these extreme measures. >> i think we can have a reasonable rational discussion over policies. i have disagreements with the president. >> the president himself said, if there is a terror attack, he would blame the courts. the president goes into these theoreticals all the time. >> well, i don't like the theoreticals. i live in this city and i lived

here during 9/11. when we're suggesting the president is provoking a terrorist attack which happened yesterday in media discussions and i thought was totally irresponsible. >> you could argue that his policy tool is the travel ban, as he calls it. that's what he wants to do to mitigate the risk. this morning he undercut his own ban to such a degree by his own lack of discipline that that measure will never pass. >> hold. on only note. george conaway, kellyanne conway's husband who was looking for the judge's role and has recently pulled himself out. tweeted this morning these tweets referring to the president's tweets, maybe some people feel better but they won't help osg get five votes in scotus which is what actually matters. sad.

he follows up by saying he supports the president and his wife who works in the administration. but then he said ultimately, these tweets are going to make it very difficult to argue their case. >> i trust and respect his legal judgment. he supported the policy. that's why he supports the tweets. >> we know that a hawaii judge tried to put a block on extreme vetting. >> they said they have in it place but i'm wondering what it is. >> we don't know. we know the press secretary was asked about that and she said that should be referred to the department of justice. we know about a hawaii judge tried to put a ban on the administration's attempts on extreme vetting. >> don't worry, there's more to come. up next, we'll talk to james inhofe.

all the time. am i going to pass away like my mom did? and so you know this is something that's important. losing my mom to heart disease and then being diagnosed myself. it's like a war we're trying to fight against these diseases. resilience is in my dna. i won't die like my mom. it's a big challenge, but the challenge in itself is what keeps me going. i could really make a difference in these people's lives. that would be my dream. hi..and i know that we have phonaccident forgiveness.gent, so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it.

advocates say it would speed up the process. the president talked about the plan this afternoon in the white house east room and used the opportunity to criticize the obama administration's past efforts at reform. >> the previous administration spent over $7 billion trying to upgrade the system. and totally failed. honestly, they didn't know what the hell they were doing. >> it may look like the president was signing a bill or an executive order today but actually it was just a set of

principles for congress to act. on nothing binding. the administration homes to attract bipartisan support in congress for its infrastructure package. something democrats so far have not yet committed to. dental professionals recommend using an electric toothbrush. for an exceptionally fresh feeling choose philips sonicare diamondclean. hear the difference versus oral b. in a recently published clinical study, philips sonicare diamondclean outperforms oral-b 7000, removing up to 82% more plaque and improving gum health up to 70% more. its sonic technology cleaning deep between teeth.

can count on the president of the united states to give accurate information. >> i think that's true that he can't. the president of the united states has another function. that is to be careful and not to say anything that might disclose something that our intelligence is working on right now that might end up apprehending terrorists. so he has to be a little careful with that. >> do you agree with him tweeting out an unverified judge report headline in response to the attacks instead of, say, pausing? >> i think you're -- katy, i didn't know about that so you're asking me something i'm not sure of. >> are you in general supportive of tweeting out unverifieds headline? >> well, i think what this president has done has gone straight to the people because he was not getting fair treatment from the media. that's you guys. so i can't blame him for doing that. >> i understand your argument there, and that you were making respectfully, the president can

go directly to the public with information that he gets from his national security council. not necessarily from an unverified drudge headline. that's still the media, after all. >> i'll let him be the judge of what he wants to use his communications for. >> okay. why do you believe that americans should believe this president? given the track record? and i could name a bunch of things that have happened recently. for instance him saying there was terror in the philippines before the philippines could figure out what it was. now they're saying it was a robbery gone bad. there are a number of different occasions where he said information that hasn't quite turned out to be true. >> i think you can say that about anyone. >> but this is president of the united states. it is not just anybody. >> katy, i'm fully aware of that. you have never said this about a democrat president. and i think it is just fair that

you give the guy a chance. when you say he hasn't done a lot of things, he's done almost everything he said he would do. i'm very excited about the fact that he did, actually did some 47 regulations that he felt strongly about. campaigned on and won on. so i just, give him a chance. he's doing a good job. to those of houston really want to believe that we were going down the wrong path before. and i'm one of those. >> for the record, the democratic senator tweeted something that was false, i would call him or her out as well. your opinion on something that politico is reporting about article 5. the president gave a speech the nato allies in which he did not express support for article 5. according to politico, his national security council said that he was going to include that in his speech. it was in his speech. and then suddenly when he was delivering it, wasn't there.

there's some suspicion out there among the government that that was something that was deleted by the president himself. does it concern that you the president is not supporting our full throated allies on the world stage? >> well, we are defending our allies. we're doing a much better job than they were doing before during the obama administration. >> how so? >> well, the obama administration said at one time he would be drawing the line, if they crossed the line, he would get tough action. and then backed away from that. he refused to allow to us send equipment in, defensive equipment to the ukraine when they had been our best ally for the first time in 96 years. did not have, they don't have one communist in their parliament. so he is standing up for a strong america and in a way that

we didn't get out of president obama at all. >> i want to get you on the record about climate -- not climate change. i know where you stand on climate change. about the paris agreement. how do you feel about the president withdrawing? after all, it was a nonbinding accord. do you think that it is a good idea to -- >> sure it's a good idea. >> to take the united states out of running or off the table for future negotiations? >> well, first let's keep inned mine. i was criticized when i was on the andrea mitchell show last thursday. you brought this guy in, michael mann. he was the same scientist discredited through climategate. that was something very, very significant at that time to have him come in and say things that just flat weren't true. now as far as the paris treaty, not the paris treaty but the paris agreement. i was glad he did that. if he didn't, there would always

be people throughout, radicals, the far molest would sue thor government and i think that was the major reason. >> let's talk about jobs. they reported to this accord hurting jobs at home. they were relying on research that is not being upheld by the majority of people at least. and there is a concern that china will be able to take over and fill that hole when it comes the new technology, clean energy technology. are you concern that had americans are not going to have the same access to good clean energy jobs that will sustain themselves in the future by us not being a part of any sort of future negotiations on the world stage? and allowing china to fill that gap? >> the reason i'm not concerned is because it's not true. in 1992, we made the agreement. that was back with the very

first, that said we're going to have these annual parties that they have every december. and we'll be a part of it regard has of what happens. they didn't lose their place at the table smas people said they did. as far as the american people are concerned, they understand. they understand what is going on. why do you think -- >> the majority of people wanted to stay in this graelt. the majority of the people agree in climate change, senator. >> well, let me ask you this, if that's the case, why wasn't president obama able to get anything through on climate change when he had the house, he had the senate, he had the white house. and still, the american people overwhelmingly did not support him. >> can you promise your constituents that they won't lose better jobs in the future? that they'll continue to have well paying and long lasting

jobs in clean energy, even without us being in this agreement? >> absolutely. no question of it. it has nothing to do with it. we have abundant clean energy in this country that we were refusing to use. we need to develop our own resources. that's what we have been doing in the past. right now, the president, president obama had a war on fossil fuels, right? coal, oil and gas. between fossil fuels and nuclear, that was 89% of the energy it takes to run america. so you've got to be able to run america. a lot of things renewable that's may boring in the future. right now the technology is not there and i think that what this president did by refuse tock in that agreement was to provide jobs, to provide jobs in america we can depend on to be, to not have to go to other countries. now, if you look at the agreement that was made, our

president said in paris. he said we're willing to reduce our co 2 emissions by 2025. his own epa said that's impossible. there's no way we can do it. then china comes dancing in. and china says we're going to continue our, to have our coal-fired power plants that we're cranking out now every ten days until 2025. then we'll consider reducing our co 2 emissions. then there's india. yeah. we'll join in. as long as we get $2.5 trillion. >> this is a nonbinding graelt. the president could have reduced his goals. he could haved. i don't agree with what president obama targeted. i'm allowed -- it's nonbinding. you can set your own targets. that's part of the deal. you don't need on walk away from it. it is up to each country.

>> how can you say that with a straight face? you know all the group that's can sue the president, sue the country and say this contradicts what they're trying to do in paris. the president agreed tom. yeah, it's nonbinding. that doesn't stop a lawsuit. that doesn't stop other people in groups from keeping us from developing our own resources. i know that all the liberals want to believe that. you know, why do you think it is that this, the previous president obama was unable to get anything through the congress when he owned the congress? because the american people don't agree with that. >> senator -- >> and that's what the polling is showing now. >> senator james inhofe, thank you vex fry much for your time happy monday to you. >> the one-on-one with former vice president al gore. differen.

welcome back. form he vice president al gore is known for a lot including being a lifelong environmentalist. he is soon coming out to a sequel with his documentary, an invent truth. chuck sat down with him yesterday and started by asking him about his conversations with donald trump on the paris climate agreement. >> he listened. but i have the old-fashioned view that conversations like that should be kept private. but nothing would surprise you about my advocacy and he did

listen. i wish he had made a different decision. i think this is by all odds the most serious challenge humidity has ever faced. we're going to solve the climate crisis in spite of what president trump does. >> when you put out inconvenient truth, i feel like it went to a broader swath of people but you're not there yet. there's a big swath of this country that just does not believe the urgency of this. what do you think you could do to better penetrate that bubble? >> well, first of all, some 70% of the american people believe we should have stayed in the paris agreement. and the majority of americans in all 50 states. a majority of republicans, a majority of trump voters all believed that we should have stayed in the paris agreement. here's the important thing, chuck. despite president trump's

decision, we're seeing governors like jerry brown and andrew cuomo, lots of others, mayors, michael bloomberg is doing a terrific job organizing mayors in this country and around the world. we're seeing businesses like apple and google and facebook and general electric trick, you can go right down the list. there is now a determination on the part of the american people to meet or commitments under the paris agreement no matter what the white house says. we have seen our missions go down because these new technologies of solar and wind and batteries and efficiency, they're coming down so fast in cost. and many places, the electricity from solar and wind is half the cost of electricity from burning fossil fuels. so we're going to save this. we're going to have a boost if we had not isolated the u.s., if

the president hadn't isolated the u.s. from the rest of the world, but we'll solve it regardless of his decision. >> the fact is there is a significant chunk of people in this country that believe this is a choice between their pocket book and the environment. and i guess my question to you is, how do you change it? how do you change that mindset? that urgency is what is missing. >> well, there is a difference between arguments and facts. there are now twice as many jobs in the solar industry as the coal industry. in fact, solar jobs are growing 17 times faster than other jobs in the economy. this is part of pathway to restoring more economic health in our country. the single fastest growing job for the next ten years, according to the bureau of labor statistics is wind turbine technician. and we're seeing improvements. this is really sweeping the world and it is the key to creating more good jobs.

>> what would you tell a coal community in west virginia? >> well, the loss of jobs in the coal industry started with the mexico anization of the coal industry, natural gas started displacing coal in the fossil fuel sector. and promising to re-create the 19th century is not a visionary strategy for a successful 21st century. i i know what the late senator rort byrd from wesvirginia, i was a strong advocate, always have been, of creating new jobs for ones we shouldn't pretend will be back. the coal industry has been collapsing all over the world because of the smoke and the dust. also the global warming pollution has convinced country after country to shift away from it. >> some of this is not fact based. it is cultural based. and this is the hard part to break through. you as someone in tennessee

should know this. there is some cultural pockets here, forget the facts. this is about, somebody else was telling me what to do, tell me how to live. >> some truths are indeed inconvenient. we can't forget facts. we have to do what's right for our people. >> i'll going to ask two political questions of you. one, who has changed more? you or tennessee politically? >> me or tennessee? well, we both changed. i had a woman come up to me in a restaurant recently and said if you dyed your hair black, you would look just like al gore. >> i don't mean physically. but politically. has tennessee changed more or have you changed more? >> at my farm in tennessee, it hasn't changed all that much. if you're asking about the political make-up of tennessee, it has always been in the upper

south, the border state, always swung from decade to decade, back and forth. that part hasn't changed that much. but the world has changed. our country has changed. but that's always the case. what hasn't changed is we have the ability to do what's right for our kids. when we face the climate crisis, we've got to pull up the reserve of patriotismnd the dedication to the future. >>ou're one of now two people that has won the popular vote but lost the presidency. advice for hillary clinton on when you get over it? or do you ever? >> well, you know, as i said a moment ago, i feel it is a privilege to have found ways to try to make the world a better place outside of the political system.

she's going to do fine and i walked the her after the election. and i don't think she needs my advice. i think she'll do fine. >> how long did it take you to sort of -- do you ever get -- >> so far? >> do you ever get over it? there's been the joke that george mcgovern said, i'll let you know when i've gotten oirt. >> i learned a lesson earlier in my life. far worse things, there are far worse things than having the supreme court make a decision against you at the end of a presidential campaign. and if we walked down street out here, we would walk by lots of people who are carrying unbelievable burdens that they don't talk about. i'm fine. okay? and i've got work to do that is really worthwhile. and i feel privileged to have the opportunity to try the make the world a better place. and we've got a big challenge ahead. and we're going to need it.

testimony. >> you can see sarah huckabee sanders is reading from a statement so you know the white house will not be trying to invoke executive privilege for thursday's jim comey testimony. what are you going to be watching out for? >> i wonder if comey will bring any excitement or color thursday. he can be pretty straight-laced up until this point. and there have been so many leaks the shock value may be a little more overhyped than everyone is hoping. >> he is a lawyer, he will come in with an argument, you believe? >> uh-huh. i think he might actually have to be lawyerly, as senator joe manchin, the democrat from west virginia was saying this morning. what his constituents want to know if mr. comey believed president trump was possibly obstructing justice, why didn't he say it at the time and why is he saying it now?

if he did believe that, he had an obligation at the time to act upon it. james comey has to wiggle around this issue because he's implicated as well. >> jason chaffetz made that argument he doesn't have any proof there was obstruction because nothing materially changed in the investigation. >> the people asking comey questions are really going to be making statements and try to box comey into what ever position they already have. democrats will be leading him on to get him to say things that support their view andee otherso admit to a smoking gun. he is very lawyerly and is going to make a headline. >> the constitutional crisis the described in that hospital room between andy card and alberto

gonzales and he and bob mueller trying to get the -- i guess it was nsa spying tools re-upped when john ashcroft had just gotten surgery. alyse, given that, that was his shining moment that propelled him to the national stage, made him a name, given that, are you thinking there is going to be fireworks at this testimony? will we learn something new or are we all a little too expectant? >> i think we're too expectant. i think he will give his explanation of a lot of things leaked in the press and especially his private dinner with president trump at the white house, i think everyone wants to know more details about that. if he weaves it into an interesting story i think it will resonate even more with the public. >> yesterday, mark warner, the ranking democrat on the senate intel committee said there's smoke but there's still no fire. does that say to you there's no there there or are you somebody

who believes evidence comes when the evidence comes? >> we have robert mueller, rather, who is doing this investigation. so far, there hasn't been this smoking gun, as mark warner the democrat from virginia he said himself on television, i think they're hoping mr. comey provides it on thursday. i think we can expect lengthy speeches from the senators themselves trying to make press and headlines and i know the media is cheering for it. the only thing james comey could do is practically show up in spandex and a wrestling mask considering the expectations for thursday. >> is it a concession they're not even trying to block him in the white house, a concession they can't stop him and they can't do anything about it? >> it would look worse for them if they did. really, the question, very similar to benghazi, democrats said, look, you had all these hours of testimony and nothing came out of it and republican voters still used it as an issue, you might see the same thing on the other side if there is no smoking gun. >> thanks so much for the

conversation today. up next, a simple lesson of carrying on in the face of terror. >> congressman, if the comey memo turns out to be true will you call for impeachment? >> i have nothing further to add. >> do you stand by your comments you will call for impeachment. >> i have nothing further to add. >> whose word do you trust more? >> i have nothing further to add. >> you said the president should be impeached if the comment is true? >> i have nothing further to add. >> do you still have full confidence in the president? >> i have nothing further to add. autonomous cars and the 5g network they connect to. with this, won't happen in the future. thanks, jim. there's some napkins in the glovebox. okay, but why would i need a napkin? you could have just told me a bump was coming. we know the future. because we're building it.

we're not scared of them and just have to live. >> it's a sentiment echoed by many including the london mayor who said we will never leds the cowards live. and sunday is the memory of the sustained nazi bombing in world war ii. tens of thousands turned out defiantly in manchester for a conner. new yorkers go to work everyday in a skyscraper built on the very same site where terrorists took down the twin towers. israelis get back on buses after one is blown up. parisians went back to the cafes and iraqis go back to the market after the explosion. egyptian coptic christians go back to church. and hours after an attack on the
