On Thursday, November 5th I was driving home from work when I heard over the radio the last line of a public statement from Barry Obama, "it's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil."
My heart sank and suddenly it was 2001, on the 11th of September. Without any details my mind produced the worst case scenario. Gunfire and smoke. Explosions and blood. And as I imagined the consequences of another terrorist attack all I could think about was internment camps.
