I am reminded of a great American poem written by Herman Melville after the death of Abraham Lincoln, the second founder of the country:There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.America at War: America wakes up to a world of fear
