Description
The French dramatist and diplomat, Jean Giraudoux, inquires in Sodome et Gomorrhe, "C'est beau, n "est-ce pas, la fin du monde?" (1) "It is beautiful, isn't it, the end of the world?" Like the ironic playwright who explodes the myth of an ordered cosmos, the contemporary terrorist often sees great beauty in the ultimate form of disorder, in chaotic visions of an apocalyptic end to "heresy," "blasphemy," "apostasy," and all other forms of unbelief. For the terrorist who remains defined in many different ways by the diverse worlds of law and politics, violence is not only a sacred path to universal cleansing and redemption, it is the only path. What is more, this "path"--to continue the metaphor--is more than a means to an end. It is in essence the end, an end unto itself. (2)
