The sense of danger I felt after 9/11 was related to the knowledge that the truth of the event was hidden, not to the sense that other regimes were a threat. Building 7 was the key: it 'fell' down with no plane crashing into it. What made that happen? How was it tied to the other events? One of many questions.
My kids were already out of the 'nest' by then, so I knew they would have to deal with the geopolitical reality independently, as my equals.
Thanks for describing what a 'neighborhood' used to be. As Vine Deloria said about 'community', it meant more than people living near each other.
