at a critical juncture of international history. I would not call this a critical juncture of international history. That demeans many events that WERE critical junctures. The world has had some of those over the years. But today is not one such. After all, there have always been brigands and vandals, and holy wars are nothing new. In purely practical terms, terrorist could inflict the damages of four WTC bombings a year on us, and the deaths would still be fewer than we suffer as a nation from alcohol-related accidents on our highways, and the destruction would be less than nature in its variety of guise inflicts on us in a typical year. The emotional impact is, or course, much greater, and that cannot be discounted to those of us around to suffer from it. But in terms of critical junctures of international history, this is peanuts.
