I would say that southernparks has the correct idea. In every city, town and village in every nation there are many people who are friendly, clean and united, and there are those so convinced of their own importance that they care only for themselves. Let us be thankful that the members of our forum are of the first persuasion.

Reminds me of a girl I knew..................

gimme her number :D

I'm not sure what you meant but I gave an example from where I live, Israel. I don't feel that it makes people more unite in the daily life, but it affects politics.
maybe in a big war it's different, but I haven't experienced a big war yet.

in some places here rockets became 'the norm', so in places that rocket haven't fell in the last 20 years, like Tel Aviv for example, life goes on as usual.
there was a time, mainly from 2000 to 2006 that busses, resturants and nightclubs exploded every day.
It was an atmosphere of stress and sadness but i don't remember that people where more friendly to one another than usual.

the army, for a lot of people, is one of the things that unites the country, and after a disaster it's more actual.
at the moment, the social and economic issues here looks to me a lot more worse than the national security problems.

Have been watching a series of programmes about the 9/11 disaster (or murders if you prefer ). Apparently there was a communication problem between the policy and the fire brigade so that the firemen in the second tower were not informed that the first tower had collapsed. How can these things happen with modern technology. Has anything been done to ensure that there could be no repeat of this incident where two services are working together. It seems to have compounded the tragedy.
