Some Americans were Army brats as kids — their parents were career military people so they lived all over the world. Me? USAID brat who lived in Ibadan, Nigeria.

For a long time, I’ve believed #September11 was the match that lit a conflagration of polarization in our nation. We
couldn’t control external #terrorists, so we turned our
pain, trauma, anger, and fear in on one another. It’s misdirected acting out, born of powerlessness.We’re still recovering.

As an American I won’t comment on British politics but I can say this: here, there, and all over, extremism is the enemy. Left wing, right wing, religious, and secularist. Liberal democracy feels under assault from all sides.
