skripka – i was saying the exact thing to my husband when i got the news. i agree this was more dramatic than many of the terror attacks we live thru, but it isn’t really that different from what we go thru all the time. I don’t even remember that much solidarity when the towers fell.
on the other hand, obama got so close to calling it terror attacks. i didn’t listen with both ears so i could be wrong, but it sounded like he said “terrorizing” about twice as much as he needed to to make up for not actually calling them terrorists.
