It really is hard to say, but I do know quite alot from direct personal

more than you appear to be on the basic resiliency of the American character
in the face of adversity, as well as in the basic robustness of our social,
economic and political systems.

That's true for any people, look at the way we (I'm English) reacted to
Germany's bombings of London and other major cities, or how we reacted
when the IRA destroyed the centre of my city (Manchester), or when our
home grown Islamists butchered people in the subways of London.

Everyone adapts, and very quickly.

For those who are history challenged...go too Google, images..then
type in London Blitz

Take a good look at the photos.

One should note..British Civilizaton (such as it is G) didnt
collapse despite even that.

That collapse occurred later, when the Brits successively leveled great
parts of Urban Britain. At least the luftwaffe had just demolished the
buildings, not replaced them with ugly edifices as monuments to the bottom
line.
