8. The 'united' feeling was temporary.

And the shift was to the right. Suddenly the most liberal, pacifist people I knew were united in their cause with revenge and war.

It wore off eventually, the afterglow of fear and anger dissipated just in time to experience the bush 2 hangover as the patriot act worked as intended and FEMA failed horribly in NO.
