its a scary world

Does this look like a neighborhood a terrorist would live in?


This is the neighborhood across the street from us, within walking distance of Dylan's elementary school.  White picket fences, millions of kids, moms walking strollers, lemonade stands and yard sales.  People stop and chat.   Most everyone is friendly.  Its the kind of place people move to raise families and feel safe.  Many of Dylan's teachers from his school live here.

But yesterday, the FBI arrested a man who lived in this community accused of collaborating with Islamic radical terrorists to help plot a massive bombing of key Metro subway stations this winter in Washington DC. He lived here with his young wife, and 18 month old son.  They blended in just like any other family. 

Its a scary world.  Thank goodness they caught him.
