      The
      American
      flags
      that
      are
     
     
      waved
      so
      frequently
      on
      television
     
     
      look
      different
      lately.
      The
      easy
      con-
     
     
      fidence
      with
      which
      they
      are
      usual-
     
     
      ly
      brandished
      has
      been
      replaced
      by
     
     
      obvious
      determination
      accompa-
     
     
      nied
      by
      fear
      and
      uncertainty,
      often
     
     
      with
      anger.
     
    

    
     
      The
      concept
      of
      “horror,”
     
     
      long
      tossed
      about
      as
      if
      it
      were
      a
     
     
      two-cent
      word
      appropriate
      for
     
     
      tragedies
      as
      mundane
      as
      a
      rise
      in
     
     
      the
      price
      of
      gasoline,
      or
      as
      trivial
     
     
      as
      a
      Hollywood
      divorce,
      has
      been
     
     
      recreated
      as
      a
      tangible
      thing,
      deliv-
     
     
      ered
      as
      obviously
      and
      unequivo-
     
     
      cally
      as
      a
      punch
      in
      the
      stomach.
      I
     
     
      have
      seen
      nearly
      a
      hundred
      planes
     
     
      hit
      the
      World
      Trade
      Center
      in
      the
     
     
      last
      week,
      and
      the
      same
      feeling
      of
     
     
      horror
      is
      present
      every
      time.
      A
     
     
      feeling
      of
      nausea
      which
      is
      not
      eas-
     
     
      ily
      dispelled
      remains
      with
      me.
     
    

    
     
      I
      first
      heard
      about
      the
     
     
      attacks
      from
      the
      mailman,
      who
      I
     
     
      wanted
      to
      believe
      was
      wrong,
      con-
     
     
      fused
      or
      exaggerating,
      but
      the
     
     
      reporter
      on
      the
      radio
      shared
      the
     
     
      same
      story.
      They
      shared
      the
      same
     
     
      incredulous
      tone
      of
      voice
      -
      that
     
     
      tone
      that
      countless
      people
      adopted
     
     
      for
      days,
      one
      that
      said
      “I
      can’t
     
     
      believe
      I’m
      telling
      you
      this,
      or
      that
     
     
      it
      is
      true.
      But
      I
      am.
      It
      is.”
     
    

    
     
      As
      that
      incredulous
      tone
     
     
      quickly
      became
      _harder-edged,
     
     
      much
      of
      the
      media
      coverage
      has
     
     
      focussed
      on
      the
      apparent
      sophisti-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      cation
      of
      the
      terrorist
      attacks.
      The
     
     
      image
      of
      an
      organized
      group
      of
      ter-
     
     
      rorists,
      capable
      of
      inflicting
      such
     
     
      catastrophic
      damage
      is
      indeed
     
     
      frightening,
      but
      I
      find
      the
      single-
     
     
      minded
      hatred
      they
      possess
      much
     
     
      more
      disturbing
      than
      the
      efficiency
     
     
      with
      which
      it
      was
      articulated.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      war
      that
      the
      US
      gov-
      —
     
     
      ernment
      assures
      the
      world
      is
      com-
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ing,
      and
      that
      many
      of
      the
      people
     
     
      who
      wave
      its
      flag
      angrily
      urge
      as
     
     
      the
      only
      answer,
      seems
      to
      be
      a
     
     
      response
      that
      it
      is
      doomed
      from
      the
     
     
      outset.
      Wars
      are
      conducted
      against
     
     
      large
      groups
      -
      a
      race,
      a
      religion,
      or
     
     
      a
      people
      -
      but
      it
      is
      a
      far
      smaller
     
     
      group
      of
      criminals
      responsible
      for
     
     
      the
      terrorist
      attacks.
      Certainly
      it
     
     
      will
      be
      a
      much
      larger
      group
      that
     
     
      will
      end
      up
      suffering,
      the
      vast
     
     
      majority
      of
      them
      no
      more
      guilty
     
     
      than
      those
      who
      died
      in
      the
      World
     
     
      Trade
      Center.
     
    

    
     
      That
      the
      world
      is
      marching
     
     
      toward
      war,
      seems
      at
      times
      as
     
     
      inevitable
      as
      watching
      the
      World
     
     
      Trade
      Center
      crumble
      for
      the
      hun-
     
     
      dredth
      time.
      I
      do
      understand
      the
     
     
      United
      States’
      need
      to
      act.
      I
      under-
     
     
      stand
      the
      incredible
      strength
      of
     
     
      will
      required
      to
      avoid
      a
      war.
     
     
      However,
      even
      if
      there
      are
      no
      cred-
     
     
      ible
      alternatives
      yet,
      war
      cannot
      be
     
    
   
   
    
     
      chosen
      by
      default.

      A
      CLARIFICATION
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      just
      wanted
      to
      clarify
      something
      that
      was
      in
      last
      week’s
      Cadre.
      In
     
     
      the
      article
      regarding
      the
      progress
      of
      the
      new
      Student
      Centre,
      it
      sounded
      as
     
     
      if
      I
      had
      said
      that
      the
      university
      would
      be
      incurring
      all
      of
      the
      insurance
      costs
     
    
   
   
    
     
      from
      the
      fire.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      While
      the
      university’s
      insurance
      company
      is
      taking
      care
      of
      financial
     
     
      matters
      now
      to
      prevent
      any
      delays,
      we
      will
      be
      settling
      these
      issues
      with
      all
     
     
      other
      insurance
      companies
      that
      are
      involved
      at
      a
      later
      date.
      In
      other
      words,
     
     
      we
      won’t
      be
      absorbing
      all
      of
      the
      costs
      ourselves.
      Just
      to
      make
      sure
      nobody
     
    
   
   
    
     
      got
      the
      wrong
      impression...
