As reservists are being called up, one has to face the sad reality
that things have changed for us, whether we are left wing, right wing,
green party or corporate executive.
Powerful adversaries have suddenly attacked while remaining invisible.
An attack of this magnitude must have been brewing for some time,
and doesn't appear to be a result of some recent American flawed policies.
The attackers were not negotiating, but were intent on destruction
and demoralization.
Publicly no one has taken responsibility, or told us what
they want changed, which makes the whole catastrophe seem pointless.
Someone is at war with America and her allies, and we
don't even know with certainty which groups or nations are involved.
What are they trying to achieve, since they are well aware America
and her allies will defend themselves?

america's isolation makes news from outside - shocking.
