I took my son to a memorial yesterday and we saw a piece of a girder from one of the towers. He's only 6 1/2 and didn't know anything about 9/11 so I explained it to him. He was really interested and had a lot of questions about the "good guys" and "bad guys" and why anyone would do something like that. I hadn't really thought about the fact that he's growing up in such a different world than his parents did. When we were kids, you never heard much about terrorism. When you did hear about a terrorist act, it was always in a foreign country.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I have trouble wrapping my head around this still. I don't think we have mitigated this nearly enough dead enemy-wise to help alleviate the pain to where it is at a point of putting it behind me, but still not forgetting. I like the stealth involved with the drones. When it happens, when they meet thier maker, they must show up with a surprised look on thier faces.
