Wherever large numbers of potential victims are likely to be . . .

. . . that's where terrorists and/or other would-be mass murderers will go.  The toll at yesterday's Boston Marathon double-bomb attack, thus far:  three dead (including one eight-year-old), over 100 injured [update:  170].

Celebrating Yom HaAtzmaut (Israel Independence Day) under these circumstances feels pretty strange for me as an American living within a two-day drive from Boston.  "This is the day that G-d made, let us rejoice and be happy on it"?
