...bigger question was why they had been absent for so long. In the 1980s, Dover, which houses America's largest military mortuary, was a stage for public grief: the 241 Marines killed in Lebanon in 1983, the crew of the space shuttle Challenger and the casualties of Panama and Grenada all passed through for publicized ceremonies attended by politicians and widows. Then, at the start of the first Gulf War in January 1991, the Pentagon barred media from the ritual. Critics speculated that the White House wanted to avoid the embarrassment it suffered two years earlier, when networks showed coffins...

A massive search was launched to find her (dozens of kids came from Seiler's high school to pitch in), and a surveillance tape showing her leaving her dorm was played repeatedly on national...

That, Hamas preaches, is a strength greater than all Israel's military hardware: the bloodshed will help liberate the land, turning lost lives into a badge of honor and giving some meaning to grief. Abu Shanab, the political leader assassinated last August, told me a few weeks before his death that suicide attacks are an expression of human dignity in a situation that seems hopeless.
