That's a good point -- history is a great teacher.

We evolved from 13 original colonies into what we are today. Gone are witch hunts, slave labor, scarlet letters, and many other things we would consider crazy. Yet at one point they were deemed acceptable.

Time has a funny way of putting a perspective on everything.

Our country has dealt with the brunt of civil war, various world wars, economic doom, and natural disasters. Terrorism is just one more item to add to that list. We'll overcome that, too.
