I will answer my own rhetorical thread, I hope. We have not been spared....the attack yesterday was on a civilized people, upon our staunchest ally. We have thousands of our sons and daughters in harms way. We have incurred numerous blows to our economy. We are inconvenienced in what should be our mundane lives. My young sons - soon to turn thirteen - wonder what the world will be like in their adulthood. And, since they are rather well attuned for their age, I suspect they wonder what will be asked of them. We all wonder when the next event will occur and to what measure. We have leftist politicians posturing to our great peril and preying on the ill-informed.
We have not been spared.
