The bloodiest suicide bombings, even miles
away, have the sound and feel of the apocalypse, causing humans to freeze, no
matter how often they experience it
Cats need to hear it only once. As they skitter
to the safety of trees and bushes, they enter the blast and the tremor on the
hard drive of their brains
On the next occasion, come the blast, they
barely stir
svagsinta människor
rädda för ingenting
inget å bry sig om
tss, bomb hit
eller dit

War”, The New York Times, October 14, 2007, p. WK 5
