The Plain Dealer Summary Elizabeth Auster 7 7 We Americans always will rebel against terror the obituary of Alice Hawthorne, the gentle-looking Georgia woman who died in the bombing at Centennial 4 Park. Barely a day after Hawthorne died, her home in Albany, was burglarized apparently by thieves who realized it would be empty be3 cause Hawthorne's husband, John, had rushed to Atlanta after learning his wife had been killed and his daughter injured in the bombing. You have to wonder what kind of people would prey on the pain of a man who had just lost so much so fast. But, unfortunately, you don't have to wonder long.
What next? After two strikes in 10 days, it's hard not to wonder: What disaster scene will greet 1 us the next time we turn on the television? It doesn't help, not yet anyway, to console ourselves with the probability that the crash of TWA Flight 800 and the bombing in Centennial Olympic Park were unrelated. For now, as we wait for investigators to sift through the respective wreckages, it's impossible to separate the two attacks on America's sensibilities. As long as investigators keep speculating that a bomb destroyed Flight 800, it's hard to ascribe to mere coincidence the ugly fact that ordinary Americans are ing killed by people who seem to have one thing in common: a desire to terrorize the American public. Nor does it soothe our jangled nerves to hear the postscript to Will we really have to start looking over our shoulders every time we visit federal buildings? Because just as the news is filled this month with tales of national and international terror, so the news has been filled for years with tales of gruesome local crimes committed by people with no apparent heart or soul. It is, sadly, no longer hard to imagine what kind of American criminal would take advantage of a man who had just lost his wife.
We have become all too familiar with the street criminal who calmly pumps bullets into unarmed victims. We have become all too familiar with the psychotic who lets his machine gun loose in schoolyards, post offices and restaurants. We have become all too familiar with terrorists, home and imported, who are blind to anything but the supremacy of their sacred causes. We know it can happen. We have seen it happen.
Now we only wonder: Will it keep happening more and more often? Will we really have to adjust to spending hours waiting in airport security lines? Will we really have to start looking over our shoulders every time we visit federal buildings or attend large public gatherings? Will all Americans begin to feel that everpresent sense of heightened alertness that so many women and inner-city residents have felt for years on darkened city streets? How much will "they" the killers who don't even care whom they kill succeed in robbing us of our sense of security? Will we ever get our innocence back? Or must we yield to living like people in Israel or Northern Ireland? Must we increase our already-strapped government budgets to pay for more security police? How many police do we need to make sure no knapsacks ever sit unattended? The story about the burglary of Alice Hawthorne's house reported that an officer had since been assigned to watch the place. Similarly, at yesterday's daily National Transportation Safety Board media briefing, a row of police lined the wall behind the NTSB spokesman. It is sobering to see just how vulnerable our national psyche is to acts of terror. It doesn't take many incidents the downing of an airliner, the attempted assassination of a president, the bombing of a major building or park to set our national nerves on edge. One such event is enough to make even a superpower feel helpless.
Two such events and we begin to feel beseiged. So it's time to steel ourselves, lest the fear of "what next" begins to settle in and eat away at us. It's time to remember that FDR wasn't really being literal when he said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. What he meant was that the biggest thing we had to fear was fear itself. The other "thing" we have to fear at any given time, whether it is an economic depression, an arms race or a rash of terrorist bombings, may be real, too.
But it can be dealt with as long as we are not too frightened to confront it. There does seem to be, at home and abroad, a wanton willingness to terrorize innocents for reasons that strike most of us as incomprehensible for greed, for ideology, for emotional release. It is a sickness, but it is no more brutal at its core than the wickedness that once drove pirates on the high seas, pogroms in Europe and mass murder in Cambodia. America certainly has the power, if it chooses to exercise it, to punish criminals and terrorists more swiftly and forcefully than it has in the past. Americans, too, have the flexibility and spirit to tolerate longer lines and higher airline prices if necessary to turn the odds in favor of passengers and against saboteurs.
We have always rebelled, in this land of the free, at the notion of surrendering our own freedom to protect against those who would abuse it. That is a blessedly healthy instinct. But every now and then, people who savor freedom need to be ready to show they are capable of defending it whether that requires the patience to tolerate inconvenience at home or the guts to strike at terrorists abroad. It is worth remembering, when we shudder at the thought of another coward detonating another bomb in another helpless crowd, that we are still a great nation. We may not be able to stop killers entirely, but we can certainly summon the will to slow them down.
