"Anyone who would confidently chart the future today would be a fool, but the first thought that struck me when thousands of casualties resulted from an attack on the American mainland, for the first time since the civil war, was that over the long pull the American people may exercise their longstanding tendency to withdraw from a world deemed recalcitrant to their ministering, and present Washington with a much different and eminently more difficult dilemma ...: how to rally the citizens for a long twilight struggle to maintain an ill-understood American hegemony in a changed world."

--Bruce Cumings, "Some Thoughts Subsequent to September 11th"



"Perverse effects of globalization, poverty, weakness in international politics, and defeat at the hands of the infidels are perhaps sad aspects of an imperfect world, but they are unlikely to be removed this side of Heaven, and their removal is certainly not a precondition for the elimination of al-Qaeda-type reactions."

-- William Zartman, "The Attack on Humanity: Conflict and Management"
