People die every day.
Just not like this. Today we watched in horror as terrorists struck the United States when we least expected it, pushing the entire country to it's knees. Thousands are dead, many more injured, and our resolve as a people has been tested as much as it has been in our history. Everywhere we sat, transfixed by the images dancing across our televisions, images of destruction and carnage, panic and confusion. Today's events are being compared to those of Pearl Harbor, a wake up call received loud and clear over fifty years go.
