"For all its frightening precision - a possible truck or car bomb at the New York Stock Exchange or Citigroup in Manhattan, the headquarters of Prudential Financial in Newark and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank here - the warning means one thing for the thousands of people who work in those buildings or live near them, quite another for the millions more who live in the same region, and still another for the rest of the nation.

And still another for the parents of a daughter who has to go through the Newark Penn station to Penn station and then take the subway to beneath the CitiCorp building and then work all day across the street from the CitiCorp building. This is so scary to me. She survives the WTC and then is in the middle of the warnings in NY again.

We are at war. The Brits survived the Blitz. We must deal with the threat and not let the terrorists dictate how we live our lives. I hope we are made of sterner stuff.
