"But this is an age when even revenge is complicated, when it is hard to
match the desire for retribution with the need for certainty. We suffer
from an act of war without any enemy nation with which to do battle.

Center shows us the civilians who live in the same places that
terrorists may dwell, whose lives are just as ordinary and just as
precious as the ones that we have lost."
