~ that we are
going on.

Over the past week, TEC along with every
other newspaper across the world has been
consumed with the Attack on America. While we
analyze every aspect of the tragedy, we seem
to have neglected all of the other stories that
on any other Wednesday would be considered
newsworthy.

A great deal has happened around the world
since the two planes crashed into the World
Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. Last
week, members of the World Trade Organization
formaliy cleared Taiwan for admission. British
Tornado warplanes bombed a southern Iraqi
antiaircraft, retaliating for hostile activities� by
iraq against planes patrolling a no-fly zone.

in the United States, the attack was not the
only tragedy last week. In Port Isabel, Texas, a
barge and tugboat slammed into a causeway
leaving five people dead while three or four
remain unaccounted for.

Eight student athletes from the University of
Wyoming were killed when a truck driver drifted
into the wrong lane and collided with the sport
utility vechicle that was carrying all eight of
the deceased.

itTs difficult to remember that anything else is
taking place in the world. When we wake in
the morning and turn the television on, news
programs are fixated on the latest developments

Right now, we are all angry -
angry and frustrated. It is under-
standable. We have seen thousands
of lives snuffed out in an instant by
madmen who have no compunction
whatsoever about killing the old, the
young, the weak, and the innocent.
To the extent that this anger can
be channeled and used to fuel the
national will to act decisively against
those responsible for this nightmare,
it is just and good.

But there is another side to this
anger, a side that is the very antith-
esis of everything America should
represent. Already, we are seeing this
anger turned inward to attack fellow
Americans whose only connection
with the attackers is a common
ethnicity and faith. In classrooms
and hallways, on buses and elevators,
you begin to hear it; the use of the
word they�. Suddenly, all Arabs
are suspect, or all Muslims. They
have to watched.� They canTt be
trusted.�

This has happened before. During
World War II, thousands of Japanese
Americans were stripped of every-
thing they had and placed in intern-
ment camps for the duration of the
war. This happened despite the fact
that virtually all of them proved to
be loyal Americans, who loved their
new country as much as you or I.
In fact, many of these same people
later served with great distinction
in the invasion of Italy, fighting and
dying for the freedoms they and we
cherished. And they did this fight-
ing and dying while their families
were imprisoned behind barbed
wire fences in the U.S. How many
of us (us being white, Anglo-Saxon
Protestants) would have done that?

wrath of God on us. We must stop

this now, before it goes any further.
We cannot allow the insane terrorists

History

Recent attacks will turn us into
a new breed of Americans

AMY RIDENOUR

Centuries are measured in books
by dates and in minds by events. In
the national memory, the terrorist
war on the United States that began
Sept. 11, 2001 will mark the begin-
ning of the 21st century. We think of
the 20th century beginning not
in 1901, but with World War I. A
fitting beginning, because in World
War I the United States transformed
itself from a nation turned inward
from the world to a nation that still
dominates the earth.

Our biggest horizon had been
the American West. Our military
challenges had always been centered
in North America. As World War
I began, so did a new century for
Americans: one in which our outlook
was profoundly different from what
it had been before.

Throughout the 20th century,

Americans felt safe at home. We

weren't always safe -particularly

after the dawn of the atomic age -

but we felt safe. Nuclear war, while

possible, was unthinkable, and so

we largely were untouched by its

specter. Terrorism happened in other

countries, to other people. To 20th-

century Americans, America was an

invulnerable fortress. At home, we

were safe.

Sept. 11 ushered in a new era.

We're 21st-century Americans now.

We know, not just in our heads,

where weTve long acknowledged it,

but in our hearts, where we never,
did, that it can happen here.

As we mourn the victims of these
terrorist attacks and the tremendous
burdens of loss faced by their families
and those who knew them well, we
also will mourn the loss of our sense
of safety.

We also may expect to mourn the
loss of some of the daily freedoms
we once took casually for granted, as
this new war will for most Americans
be measured in the inconvenience
of security measures that most likely
will last for years to come. But we
can take heart in the fact that ourT
new awareness of danger will spur
us to act in ways that someday may -
save many lives. Democrats and
Republicans together are taking a
fresh look at methods and technolo-
gies that can help protect us.

Measures to acquire intelligence >
of terrorist activities and early warn-
ings of future acts will be increased ,
and improved. Deployment of a
missile defense system to protect
Americans from what would be even
worse than what we've just suffered

-a nuclear attack -will become
less controversial and receive more
bipartisan support. Immediately after ,
the Vietnam War it was fashionable
to downplay the need for intelligence
services and to pretend that America
could defend itself without getting
its hands dirty. Laws enacted during
that time have hobbled our means of
protecting ourselves ever since. These _
dangerous policies, reflective of the

Not because he is ignorant, but
just because thatTs how much he cares
only about himself. He is openly

Sports Mlustrated Magazine as an MTV

Even when Bonds hit his 500

few ballplayers have ever reached)

if he did not, then he was leaving
town for good.

Arguably, | believe we saw the
best season of MLBTs long existence
three years ago. The ongoing battle
between two rivals Mark Mc Gwire
and Sammy Sosa, was something
special. What was even more special
was the friendship that the two made
throughout their race for the record.
We all have seen the famous video
after Mc Gwire broke the record,
of his friend and rival Sammy Sosa
being one of the first to congratulate
and hug his competitor. Now that
was basebail,.that was our pastime at
its best. It is just too bad that Barry
Bonds is what baseball fans must
settle for now.

wait.

The steps we take now may
at some future date save millions of
lives. In the immediate aftermath of
these terrorist attacks, ourT public is
unified and our attention is focused
on the task before us. But in coming
weeks, comprehensive nonstop tele-
vision coverage of this feral terrorist
butchery will cease. We'll be tempted
to turn our thoughts to more pleasant
things. We must not succumb until
the task at hand is complete.

At another scene of horrific
carnage and war President Lincoln
spoke words that helped us once.
They can again.

We must here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died
in vain.�

Intramural Flag Football kicks off

League champions
defend titles

SHOMARI T. KEE

STUDENT RECREATION REPORTS

There are many rivalries that
exist inside the college football world
such as Florida St. versus Florida,
Oklahoma/Nebraska and ECU/State,
but none of these are as pride laden
or as exciting to watch as the epic
battles of Red versus Gold. Yes, that
is right, ITm talking about Intramural
Sports on the campus of ECU.

Hopefully, you have participated,
or at least heard about the rivalries
that the Blount Recreational Com-
plex garnishes.

The competition is back for the
2001 season, and the Student Rec-
reation Center is looking forward
to providing a good one for ECU's
students, faculty and staff.

Last year, many teams competed
in the fast paced, action-packed
intramural sport of flag football. This
year should be even more exciting as
the defending champions from 2001
try to hold on to their titles.

The menTs Independent Gold
League is the most competitive one
inside of the flag football program.
Most of the players share the same
play to win� spirit that exists in all
collegiate sports. Last year, the Explo-
sion, led by captain Mike Stroud,
took the title.

The MenTs Independent Purple
league is designed for the more
recreational players and teams that
are not looking for high levels of
competition.

Although, it is designed in this
form, competition usually becomes
more heated than the Independent
Gold League.

Last year, team Bucho� won
the purple and All-Campus Cham-
pionship. You can expect captain
Tim Dameron to have some of the
best athletes on the field.

SRC also offers a WomenTs Inde-
pendent League for the ladies who
like to grind it out.

nated dominated by the The Cre-
