I think in a way it's easier for me to process this, ebcause unlike the Americans, I've never had the illusion that my country was safe. We've been occupied twice in the 171 years of our existance. Wars have been waged scarily close to us. I remember Tshernobil. I remember the Bende van Nijvel (Nijvel Gang), who have never been caught.
