A6 — THE BRUSSELS POST, OCTOBER 21, 1981
Slain —for what?
Madill Mirror
u
Vogrigy
Last week, on Tuesday,
October 6, the world was
filled with mixed emotions as
one of this era's greatest
enforcers of peace was slain.
Anwar Sadat was killed in
one of the cruellest attack s
on a political leader.
The varied emotions a-
mused by his death, were
those of happiness and sad-
ness. Some of the Arab
countries were relieved by
-the news of his death for they
did not share his goals.
However, those ill-regarded
reactions were less dominant
than those of sorrow.
Leaders in Western and
European countries mourned
his death.
President Sadat laboured
many years to make Eygpt a
productive, wealthy nation.
After this task was success-
fully completed, he under-
took the ultimate chore of
establishing a peaceful re-
lationship with Israel, once
Eygpt's main enemy. He
placed all admiration and
respect he had obtained from
the Arab countries in jeo-
pardy; also, he anticipated
rejection of such a Peace
Treaty between Israel and
Egypt. However, believing
that his actions were in
Eygpt's best interests, he
forged ahead with his plan
and came away in 1979 from
Washington D . C . with a
proclamation of peace signed
by himself and Menachem
Begin.
Anwar Sadat, by his cour-
ageous efforts, were able to
create a contact of peace with
Israel before he died. For-
tunately, he saw his goal
form a binding pact (which is
much more than many lead-
ers who have perished before
the travail of their prosaic
purposes have been fulfill-
ed.)
I'm sure that Anwar Sadat
would be proud of his
political followers' decision
to respect his devotion to-
wards ' peace and abide by
policies already established.
Anwar Sadat died an ironic
death. He lived for peace and
died by violence.
What was he slain for? For
everything he believed in!

EDITORIAL
Human life is so fragile.
Little do some people realize
how easily a life can be
"snuffed" out, how precious
living is.
The morning of June 28.
1981, as I scowled over the
breakfast dishes. I heard
nine words I'll never forget -
"Terry Fox, dead, at the age
of twenty-two." My heart
stopped for a brief eternity,
by hands trembled as
realized what I had heard.
Age twenty-two? What life
time Terry had on earth, but
the last few months of his life
were lived to the fullest.
Terry lost his right leg to
cancer: an active athlete,
suddenly handicapped. Ter-
ry's running days were over,
it seemed, but really they
had just begun again.
If this had been me, I'm
sure I would have laid on my
bed, never showing my face
to the outside world. Terry
wasn't stopped at all though.
There must have been mo-
ments when he crumbled and
broke into tears, but he
decided to do something with
his life. He kept right on
living, something people
with two legs don't have the
energy to do at times.
As Terry began his Marat-
hon of Hope across Canada, I
never thought much of it.
Why should I have? I didn't
know the guy. More or less, I
had the attitude of, "I don't
care". Talk about ignorant!
As Terry continued to hop on
one leg, a prothesis, and a
few whispered words of
encouragement, I began to
realize just what he was up
to. It slowly dawned on me
that there was a method to
his madness. To run twenty-
six miles each day on two .
legs each day, is in itself a
feat; but to run twenty-six
miles each day on one leg
was something I found hard
to grasp, To jog across
Canada, handicapped no less
to gather money for cancer
research and not take any for
himself, he had to be either
crazy or very generous. It's
not hard to determine what
Terry's motive for running
across the country was, You
don't find many people who
give everything they have
and never take.
I'm sure most people in
Canada including me, don't
use half or a third of their
potential. If something
seems too hard to accomp-
lish, I shrug my shoulders
and say, "Forget it!" Terry
Fox could easily, every eas-
ily, have said that and laid in
bed 'till he died. He didn't
though. He decided to help
others in need and what
better way to spend your
life!
Maybe, just maybe,
Terry's funds will find the
key to curing cancer. It just
may happen some day. It has
to happen. The scientist who
discovers the cure will be a
national hero, too.
Perhaps then, . the words
that Terry spoke, will come
true, not just for him but for
all cancer victims - "Some-
where the hurting must
stop..."
"THEN AND NOW"
We saw you first
As you ran;
Across our country,
Across our land.
We saw you second
As you grew ill;
You fought with strength,
You fought with will.
We saw you third
As you died;
The whole land mourned,
The whole land cried.
We see you now
In our hearts;
You are gone, but
You'll never part.
