The death of thousands of people, be they american or not, is a tragedy. It is the result of hatred.War can eradicate the hands that armed the terrorist but hardly the causes of hatred.

Bush speaks of Good waging war against Evil. This is very disturbing because they are the very same words as the terrorists. He speaks of saving freedom and democracy but our (*) relation with the rest of the world is of brutal force veiled in a thin veil of ideology. Most of us are not aware of this because our misdeed happens in foreign countries and are not covered by media. So who are we to judge people that are have been even more thouroughly brainwashed?

There is no excuse to crash a plane against the WTC. But let no think in term of good and evil but in term of human people who can go astray.

I hope that the Internet will be a direct link between people and avoid mediation thru biased third parties. Also, how many times I discuss with someone on the net. And when I meet him physically, I discover that I would not have meet him/here otherwise because stupid things like the way he dress. We are neither good or evil but both, we are just human, and must be careful of using the world of God to dictate foreign policy (if there is a such things because we are living in the same world) Read Chomsky, or the following links (1), (2)

(*) I think that most of the so called liberalist world has the same relation with the world. For example: we know in France that some French political people are financed by back-payola from third-world countries linked to arms sales.
