This article is a translation of an excerpt from Slavoj Žižek's text, published on Lacan.com in 2001. This fragment was later included, with changes, in Žižek's book Welcome to the Desert of the Real! in the chapter ‘Passions of the Real, Passions of Semblance’, published in 2002 on the occasion of the anniversary of the tragedy of 11 September 2001.
