Oh, now there's a different tone in mr Spector's
voice. I didn't see a trace of "emotional solidarity" in your initial post, so
it is nice to see a non-cynical response from you.
Remeber this to the next time you make
pre-analytical, uninformed statements: don't do them. You do not only seem
non-emotional and non-solidaritarian, you also hurt many people who, like me,
knew people that were in the WTC building when it was hit.
So just shut up for now, will you?

Even in the worst of times we have to keep a calm head about
things. We all have a right and responsibility to share our emotional
solidarity with the victims, but even in the worst of times, we have to try to
avoid panic. That's all I was trying to do -- because if a "lynch mob"
mentality develops, it will result in even more horror.
Respectfully,
Alan Spector

Alan,
I have just seen the news on TV regarding the
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington and I turned on my Internet in
order to get more information.
As a PhD student in world-system analysis, I
was utterly disgusted and horrified by the way you use the worst terrorist
act so far in the democratic world, playing funny word games and discussing
how the rhetoric might change in the near future.
Who f--king cares, mr Spector?
And how the f--k can you make such a statement when you admit that you
don't know what caused the incident?
Yours not-very-respectfully and quite upset even before reading the
Alan-post,
Carl Nordlund

Well, I don't know who or what caused the plane crashes into the
World Trade Center. But the casualties will include more than the
immediate victims. We can expect to hear the rhetoric of "anti-terrorism"
reach a new pitch, and with a government that labels peaceful protestors
as terrorists, we can expect to see pressure for more
laws suppressing dissent.
Does anyone else smell the "F" word gradually, in steps and stages,
moving towards center stage?
(That's "F" for fascism, not the other F word.)
