That's fairly easy to write in an air conditioned office somewhere in the west, but it was a pretty brave thing to do this right in the middle of the action.
Nobody said it's easy. I'm sitting in Paris right now, and it reflects the attitude of many of the citizens here. I know shop owners that stayed open over the weekend in defiance of what the terrorists were aiming to achieve.
I would expect no less from the French, they've always been remarkably steadfast in their convictions, both on the political stage and in their internal politics. Here's to hoping that they will be able to maintain this level of resolve for the future.
