It scares me that the world in many ways seems to have accepted bombings as the new norm. "Oh, but no one was hurt, and anyway it was only a small bomb" like somehow that is supposed to mean it is all right?!?!?!?!

Once people think it is normal, it becomes so much easier to gradually move "normal" to a reality that would terrify people if introduced from the start.
We cannot let them convince us this is normal!
