It is very interesting to explain the previous American ideal, that terrorism on a massive and violent scale just didn't happen in America. I've met people who come from ravaged countries, in which politics takes a very direct and bloody turn. They find it interesting that so many Americans could not conceive of such a thing, even though it happens all around the world.
I think we have been very sheltered at home. If we learn nothing else from this, we should realize that America is very much a part of the world, and we are not immune to the troubles of it.
