Статья об умении американцев смеяться над трагедией 11 сентября. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/News/911doniger.html I want to say, if we stop laughing at our own tragedies, they win. But if we can laugh in the face of the bullies who would destroy us, then we have won. To do this is to say, "Your grim, humorless world is not going to destroy our fragile world of self-mockery. We can still mock ourselves, and you. You are not going to get us. We win."
