Israelis know well what it means when a terrorist gets through. A suicide bomber detonated himself at a bus stop near Tel Aviv last week, killing eight Israeli soldiers heading home from work. Five hours later, a second bomber exploded outside a cafe in a trendy district of Jerusalem, killing seven and wounding at least 30 others. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the terrorist group Hamas, which said it ordered the bombings in retaliation for Israel's attempted assassination a week earlier of the group's spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin.

But that hardly mitigated the shock at the brutality that ripped it apart last week. On Tuesday night a suicide bomber blew himself up aboard Bus No. 2 as it carried many ultra-Orthodox Jewish families home from prayers at Jerusalem's sacred Western Wall. A bomb laced with ball bearings killed 20, wounded 100 and left searing images of tiny corpses on stretchers, screaming toddlers with scorched faces and hysterical parents...
