As I was reading all of the coverage today about this terrible tradgedy, I realized how the things that seemed so important to us yesterday (Vipers, the weather, gas prices), have been revealed as truly inconsequential. John Derbyshire reminded me of a quote from Rudyard Kipling after the start of WW1:
Our Earth has passed away,
In wantonness o'erthrown.
There is nothing left today
But steel and fire and stone!
There are currently crowds in the streets in heathen lands crowing about how America has been brought low, and that a mighty blow has been struck against the great Satan. We will all have to set aside our comfortable distractions for a while and face these enemies with courage, strength, and resolve.
