What makes this different from Vietnam and everything else we know is that this was an attack on the U.S., not a U.S. imperial action abroad. Certainly it happened because of imperial behavior, but the fact that it happened here means that people experience it much more viscerally. Maybe I'm biased since it happened about 5 miles from where I'm sitting.
