Terrorism

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Frank Herbert, Dune

To all of you thrown into a paroxysm of paranoia by any historical reference which you only marginally understand, your letter of appreciation from Messrs Rove and bin Laden will be arriving shortly. You just can’t have terrorism without unreasoned fear.
