...lived through Sept. 11 will ever be the same again. Though the Western powers have installed a friendly government in Afghanistan, the ordinary man's self-confidence has not been restored. The world cannot remain frozen in the fear of Sept. 11, like a broken clock. The trauma and hurt have to be overcome. It is time to work again. There is yet a lot to do. And we can never give up.

...tough life. And we have to deal with it everyday. The show we did last night? it's not just every night at [Madison Square] Garden and that's it.

"Chess had to be commercialized. Investment had to be brought in," Ilyumzhinov insists. That must be what...
...since Saddam has been relatively well-behaved lately, why contemplate war? Because "the only clock ticking is Saddam's capabilities," says a senior Bush aide - and it makes no sense to wait until its alarm goes off. Another factor is that al-Qaeda, according to intelligence seized in Afghanistan, is trying to procure nukes too. The British government discounts all claims of any Iraqi connection with al-Qaeda over Sept. 11, and it's unlikely that Saddam would ever subcontract delivery of WMDs to any outside group. Nevertheless, Sept. 11 may have alerted him to the attractions of unorthodox attacks...
