"Timing is everything, and luck is relative. We left Washington in a swirl of the first flakes of what would become the Blizzard of '03, embarking on a winter holiday with our extended family of 10. A rented ocean-front house waited for us on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, ours for a week. Virgins or not, it turned out to be heaven. ...What perfect joy to watch the 4-year-old grandson run on the deserted white-sand beach unencumbered by clothes, with his 7-year-old brother, riding high on the shoulders of an uncle, shouting his laughter to the sky. ...We took delight in the freedom of a holiday, exploiting the innocent pleasures of relaxed family life with only a twinge of guilt, remembering our friends back home. (But isn't the point of a holiday to escape from reality?) But far away, beyond the sun and the sand on the other side of the Atlantic, we could hear the distant rumble of the drums of war, not quite drowned by the cry of our birds and the roar of the sea. Fear and loathing as old as history, terror of a dictator who revels in the destruction of the tranquility the rest of us crave, intruded on consciousness like the dread of a shark hiding in the shallows. ...Somewhere beyond the sun and sand, and under the same blue sky, frustrated inspectors were looking for gruesome weapons of mass destruction buried somewhere inside the earth. Young men and women, who not so long ago were tykes like these running on the beach before us, were digging for shelter in sand not unlike the sand where we spread a blanket every morning." --Suzanne Fields
