The age of security. We feel it strongly this week in Prague, host city for the NATO SUMMIT 2002. It is as if the eyes of the whole world are on us. This week we are as newsworthy as we have been since the flood of August. This week, we have become a greater target for terrorism than perhaps we have ever been. 17% of Prague’s population have left the city, avoiding the publicity, the partial closure of the downtown city, and the possible risk of bombs.
NATO meets today in Prague. Dub’ya arrived this morning. 60 other Heads of State will be here for a few days of meetings. As well as 2000 delegates, 3000 journalists, and countless security teams and military personnel. One fighter jet will be fly over Prague every minute.
