T hey said they wouldn’t celebrate,that in the midst of all that hashappened, jumping and yellingand dogpiling seemed so out of

place. It just didn’t feel right. Instead, when

the Mariners clinched the AmericanLeague West title Wednesday night, they

hugged each other, lofted the flag, andsaluted the fans with their caps. They also

gathered in the middle of the field for aquiet prayer.

When they were done with what seemed

more like a ceremony than a celebration,

they returned to their clubhouse, quietly

toasted the occasion with champagne, then

went home to be with their families andfriends.

Their joy was mixed with sadness, but it

gets better, step by step, day by day.Yesterday, they came back to work again,

looking for the next win, and the nextmilestone along the way.

President Bush addresses a joint session of Congress: “The Taliban must act and act immediately. Theywill hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate.”

BY JOHN F. HARRIS AND MIKE ALLEN

The Washington PostWASHINGTON — President Bush urged Americans

last night to steel themselves for a prolonged, uncon-ventional, largely covert war against an elusive networkof enemies, and he issued a challenge to every foreigngovernment.

“Either you are with us or you are with the terror-ists,” said Bush, addressing a united Congress and a

stricken nation.He described a global war against

terrorism, issuing an ultimatum tothe Taliban leadership in Afghanistanto immediately hand over Osama binLaden and vowing that “from this dayforward, any nation that continues toharbor or support terrorism will beregarded by the United States as ahostile regime.”

For the first time, he listed the specific demands thatthe United States is making of the Taliban, who haveprovided bin Laden his base of operations and formed aclose alliance with his group, al Qaeda.

Defining them as “demands,” Bush called on the Tali-ban to:

• “Deliver to United States authorities all the leadersof al Qaeda who hide in your land.”

• “Release all foreign nationals — including Ameri-can citizens — you have unjustly imprisoned.” TwoAmericans are among eight foreign-aid workers impris-

SEATTLE TIMES STAFF

For a little more than a half-hour last night, PresidentBush told the world how the United States plans to re-spond to last week’s terrorist attacks. Millions watchedor listened, some cheering Bush on, others listening forwords to quell their anxiety.

Whether they were still working, driving or at homeeating dinner, people in the Seattle area tuned in. Hereare some of their reactions:

Miriam Howard, 30, a free-lance video editor andmanager of an espresso bar, didn’t vote for Bush forpresident and hasn’t thought of him as up to the job.

But after listening to his speech on radio, she de-clared his remarks “very strong, very confident andvery unified in tone.” Devoid of partisanship and sophis-ticated in its world view, the speech, Howard said,“spoke to me just being an American.”

How president’sspeech playedin Seattle area

Seattle Times staff reporterSHERIDAN, Wyo. —You know just by

looking at his face that the past 10 days havebeen much different for him than for most of

us. He has brown

skin, thick eye-brows, a handsomelyaquiline nose over adark mustache thatcurls around the cor-ners of his mouth.His name is ZarifKhan Jr., a Pakistani-American and thehead of the onlyMuslim family intown.

He has a lot on hismind. You get the

impression he’s a gabber anyway, but now hisgabbing has new purpose, not to mention thathe’s the kind of guy who must begin everystory from the very beginning, in pre-history.For context.

So if you have three or four hours to hearwhat’s it’s like to be Muslim in a town that’s
