The Boston bombings, the Fort Hood shootings, the events of 9/11, and numerous international Islamic terrorist activities are only new to people who have no sense of history.
Most Americans are familiar with the first line of the United States Marine Corps hymn, From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli but most likely dont know the source of the Tripoli reference. The line to the shores of Tripoli refers to the First Barbary War, specifically the Battle of Derna, that took place in 1805.

2. You do realize that the McCarthyist era the United States had is probably the most disappointing part of our history since the Salem witch trials? Thousands of people had their lives ruined, because one guy who had power wanted to point fingers at whoever wasn't nice to him. If that doesn't sound awful to you, then I suppose you'd fit in quite well into the KGB.
