Nekromanti En reflektion över 11 september 2001

[Mekanurg]

‘‘I suppose that what September 11th did was not so much change how we think of the world or humanity as remind us of a lot of things we already knew about humanity. (We could have done without the reminder.) It reminds us that any time of peace and prosperity is a fortunate exception to the way the machinery ordinarily works, and in retrospect it makes you appreciate that time.’’

--Tim Powers (författare till Anubisportarna, Declare, mfl weird-SF-romaner)

Lite liknande (men inte alls samma sak) hur svenskarna reagerade efter Palme-mordet.
