}{\plain \i \tab \'93There are no oceans wide enough to protect a nation from a tainted atmosphere or a 
spreading plague, no walls high enough to defend a people against a corrupt ideology or a 
vengeful prophet, no security strict enough to keep a determined martyr from his sacrificial 
rounds.  Nor is any nation ever again likely to experience untroubled prosperity and plenty 
unless others are given the same opportunity.  Suffering too has been democratized, and those 
most likely to experience it will find a way to compel those most remote from it to share the pain.  
If there cannot be equity of justice, there will be equity of injustice; if all cannot partake of 
plenty, impoverishment\'96both material and spiritual\'96will be the common lot.  That is the hard 
lesson of interdependence, taught by terror\'92s unsmiling pedagogues.\'94}{\plain \par
