THE RIPPLE EFFECT of one single victim of one suicide bomber: Kelly Hartog, an Israeli journalist whose life was forever changed on September 9, 2001, wonders:

Of the almost 400 people who have been killed in terrorist attacks here since September 2000, how many people beyond their immediate relatives have been directly affected by their deaths? Hundreds? Thousands? How much has the State of Israel been altered by buildings never built, dreams never realized, people never married and babies never born because of these individuals deaths?
