Resumo: | Among all the criminal actions that men can carry out against other men, an attack is one of those that comes closest to radical evil: it is the ultimate crime, murder, consciously directed against the innocent. He who places a lethal bomb on a train or in a station waiting room knows with certainty that the victims his gesture produces have, in relation to the end or ends he proposes, no guilt. It does not hit the enemy, real or presumed, but on a whim those who happen to find themselves on that train, or in that waiting room, in that square. I don’t mean to say that the terrorist doesn’t have an enemy to target or take revenge on. But his enemy is elsewhere: the slaughter of the innocent is just a means to indirectly target an enemy that only he knows or should know who he is and where he is. Perhaps there is no more perverse way to reduce man to a means than to consider his violent death as a pure means of an unknown design. [...] |

[...]Entre todas as ações criminosas que os homens podem realizar contra outros homens, o atentado é um dos que mais se aproxima do mal radical: é o delito máximo, o homicídio, dirigido conscientemente contra os inocentes. Aquele que coloca uma bomba letal em um trem ou na sala de espera de uma estação sabe com certeza que as vítimas que o seu gesto produz não têm, em relação ao fim ou aos fins a que ele se propõe, nenhuma culpa. Não atinge o inimigo, verdadeiro ou presumido, mas por capricho aqueles que por acaso se encontram naquele trem, ou naquela sala de espera, naquela praça. Não quero dizer que o terrorista não tenha um inimigo para atingir ou do qual se vingar. Mas o seu inimigo está em outro lugar: a chacina dos inocentes é apenas um meio para atingir indiretamente um inimigo que apenas ele sabe ou deve saber quem é e onde está. Talvez não exista modo mais perverso de reduzir o homem a um meio que o de considerar puro meio de um desenho desconhecido a sua morte violenta.

Among all the criminal actions that men can carry out against other men, an attack is one of those that comes closest to radical evil: it is the ultimate crime, murder, consciously directed against the innocent. He who places a lethal bomb on a train or in a station waiting room knows with certainty that the victims his gesture produces have, in relation to the end or ends he proposes, no guilt. It does not hit the enemy, real or presumed, but on a whim those who happen to find themselves on that train, or in that waiting room, in that square. I don’t mean to say that the terrorist doesn’t have an enemy to target or take revenge on. But his enemy is elsewhere: the slaughter of the innocent is just a means to indirectly target an enemy that only he knows or should know who he is and where he is. Perhaps there is no more perverse way to reduce man to a means than to consider his violent death as a pure means of an unknown design. [...] |
