When bad things happen in big cities, you tend automatically to think about small countries on the other side of the planet and whether or not you should be there at this particular point in time. I was racking my brains for terrorist incidents at home and could only vaguely recollect a bomb going off in a Government building in the early 1980s. I don't even think anyone was hurt.

What I'd completely forgotten about was the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in 1985. How could I have skipped over that? Sheesh. Anyway, go read about it if you had the time. One person died. It wasn't perpetrated by faceless radicals. It was ordered by the French Government. It too was an event that changed a nation.
