Living in a World of Terrorism: Have things
really changed?
Terrorism hit home for America last week. But in other parts of the world,
suicide bombers, coordinated gun attacks, and car bombs have been a sad
part of the landscape for decades. Israel and Northern Ireland are two
regions that can provide insight into how to live with terrorism. Israeli
psychiatrist Arieh Shalev says fear has always been a normal part of the
human condition and that America's lack of fear may have been a middle
class illusion.
