But through all these pandemonium, one thing has kept bugging my
mind. Why 9-11? Why did Bin Laden and his terror brigade chose that
particular September morning to unleash their terror on America and
the contemporary world. I mean, only a little hyphenation separates
it from the largely fateful and awe-inspiring emergency code 911
that often signals a dire situation in America. One can speculate
that the terrorists settled on that fateful date for the mundane
reason that the monumental tragedies they would wrought on the
so-called western civilization would serve as an unforgettable
warning to the Americans and the world at large of more tragic
terrors ahead and hence of many more reasons for the citizens of
the world to dial 911. As you can see, this is mere speculation for
it is not a gift given to any sane human being to decipher what
goes on in the mind of a suicidal terrorist. But whatever way you
view it, 9-11 has ceased to be just a calendar day. It has become
an end and a beginning of a new era, a watershed to a new life of
modified freedom and abbreviated openness that has dawned on
America - "land of the free and home of the brave." Hence one often
reads and overhears, even as I write this book, a pre-9-11 and a
post-9-11 America or world. And I have every reason to suspect that
for many centuries to come this earth-shattering event of September
11, 2001 will be chronicled with the ancient formulary of
groundbreaking events
