A Simple Matter to Drag the People Along

Make no mistake, it should be obvious that no American, including myself, treats casually the possibility of another 9/11.

And clearly, I am not saying that there will not be any terrorists' acts during the remainder of this week. How on earth could I know? There may be.

But I find this last weekend's rush to embassy closings throughout the Middle East and Africa very troubling.
