"It is now three days after the attack, and I am haunted by the words of Sun Tzu."
I wonder which of the words of  Sun Tzu he was thinking of?

These are the words (he quotes Sun Tzu words in the article from which I extracted his words):

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.[1]

... I think we know ourselves AND our enemy in the case of terrorisim this time around (compared to the years X-42 was just 'occupying' the Whitehouse and fiddling while several of our embassies and one US ship were bombed) ...
