Mark my words, there will be blowback from this war. It may not take the form of higher gas prices or terror attacks. It may simply be a deeper mirroring domestically of the harm waged abroad. Some are predicting tumultuous times this year and next. I tend to agree, but the tumult may be as much or more on the level of meaning, story, and identity than on the level of civil strife and economic turmoil. Wealth or luck may shield us from the latter, but from the former there is no escape.
