摘要

In one of the greatest political speeches, his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln argued that the civil war then raging was remaking American society despite the expectations and wishes of its leaders. "Neither party," he said, "expected for the war the magnitude or duration which it has already attained. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding." Lincoln's equating of the difficulties of war with its consequences is telling. The civil war was momentous because it was traumatic. In contrast, the war against the Taliban has been "an easier triumph". Will it bring about "a result less fundamental"? The war in Afghanistan, of course, is only the beginning of the war against terror. No one knows how further attacks―by or against America―would affect the country. But already some changes are clear. September 11th ended what Charles Krauthammer, a columnist, mocked as a decade-long "holiday from history", when headlines were dominated by O.J. Simpson, Monica Lewinsky and Gary Condit (and, lest Britons feel smug, by Princess Diana). The new seriousness has shocked people out of that sense of fantasy.
