What Do We Do Now?

In the wake of the war with international terrorism and the subsequent Allied response, a new kind of protracted conflict is shaping up. We are threatened with the shadows of an apocalypse of long duration. How do we cope?

America's sheltered life has drawn to an abrupt end. We still long for normalcy, but don't really expect it anytime soon. Terrorist strikes from the air and bioterrorism on the ground in New York City and Washington D.C. have revealed the terrifying vulnerability of the open societies of the West.
