Jeroen: On September 11th, forces hostile to the United States of America declared war on this country. Although the United States lost the first battle of this war, and will certainly win the last battle of this war, there will be many battles in this war. Moreover, the United States will lose more of those battles. As terrible as September 11th was, it will likely not last long as the worst terrorist attack in world history. Indeed, yesterday our Attorney-General warned that there is a "likelihood of additional terrorist activity.... We think that there is a very serious threat of additional problems now." Even worse, White House Chief of Staff said that "I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but we know that these terrorist organizations, like al Qaeda, run by Osama bin Laden and others, have probably found the means to use biological or chemical warfare, and that is very, very bad for the world." Now, perhaps the signifigance of all this is lost on you, Jeroen. It is not, however, lost on me. It is definitely in the back of my mind that when the next battle comes, Washington, DC is as likely of a target is any. Some day, I could happen to be in a Metro Train (think Japan), or walking through Union Station as I do ever day (think Britain), or simply at work in a fairly obscure Federal Building (think Oklahoma City) when the violence starts again. And when that happens, there is actually a frighteningly decent chance that nobody will ever hear from me again. If you really have any humanity deep inside that incredibly bitter shell of a personality you present to this List, I can only hope that you might finally figure out the right thing to do.
