Well, I'll win my bet with Jordan, for one thing. We bet one war bond (assuming they come out) that, for the 10 years commencing January 1, 2004, fewer people will die in the United States from Islamic-hued terrorism than will be struck by lightning.

Memory tends to fade by nature and Oklahoma City is already getting vague. (It took me a moment to recall Tim's last name.) But if September 11th becomes the justification for a new cold war, it will be preserved by continuation citation.
