It was 9/11. This time, nobody was really fazed, least of all my mother. Were federal workers killed in the attacks? Sure. She knew that. But by then she had known for years that she wasn't just a person with a job. She was a target. She was used to that by then. — PolitiTweet.org

I didn't understand. And I didn't particularly understand why my mother picked me up from school in the middle of the day only a few months later, again with my brother in tow. She had been evacuated again, due to terrorism again. We stopped at a Jack in the Box for lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

And so what I wanted to say with this piece was that you can never actually get back what you lose in incidents of terrorism. The terrorists, in some sense, always win: Visible, permanent reminders of what happened appear. When you get used to those, more come. — PolitiTweet.org
