The day was very much like today: cold, damp and cloudy with the further addition of wet snow. At around 12:00 p.m. on February 26, 1993 a massive blast ripped through the World Trade Center and, thereby, opened a new phase in terrorist warfare. The bombing killed 6 people and injured 1,000 others. We had thought, after being saturated with media coverage, that we had “been there-done that”…whereas it was merely the opening act in a succession of opening acts that never seem to close. Oh, but this interminable, peculiar war on terror is predicted or, maybe, slated (by our staunch and wise leaders…whoever they are) to last for the next 100 years…maybe give or take a year or two. I guess, since there won’t be any cut-to-the-chase finish, none of us will be around to see how this story turns out and how it was actually written.
