There are some links here from the libertarian as well as the
conservative angle. A mix of news items and opinion pieces. Perhaps
more useful to read at a time like this as they may be more
representative of majority US opinion. Am I wrong? -- I hope not as
at least some of the opinion pieces offer a hope that there may be a
significant constituency for a re-think on at least some parts of US
policy.

Straight gun stores. (09/12/01)

Battle cry
----------
by Deroy Murdock
"American leaders and voters alike should be very careful about
embracing measures today that will leave citizens less free
in the long run in an effort to catch criminals in the here and
now. The Bill of Rights must not collapse with the Twin Towers
... but they should feel no such restraint about retaliating
against whatever group or nation perpetrated these acts of war."
(09/11/01)
http://www.nationalreview.com/murdock/murdock091101.shtml
Resisting hysteria
----------
by Jesse Walker
"This is a time for expert police work. It is a time when the
intelligence community can try to make up for its disastrous
failure to foresee this assault, by finding the people who did
it and bringing them to rapid justice. It is not a time for
unfocused ... hysteria." (09/12/01)
http://www.reason.com/hod/jw091201.html
The price of empire
----------
by Alan Bock
Americans fail to understand just how deeply hated the United
States is in many parts of the world -- and hated by people
ready and able to take desperate and ruthless actions. (09/12/01)
http://www.antiwar.com/bock/b091201.html
Reaping the whirlwind
----------
by Gene Callahan
"Today's events should bring home a simple, clear message: It
is time to stop the madness. It is time to refuse to lend any
support to the ravaging of innocent lives in the world-
domination games of the power-mad." (09/12/01)
http://www.lewrockwell.com/callahan/callahan54.html
Wake up America!
----------
by Richard Rieben
"People are not their governments. But they are wrong to think
that they will not bear the consequences for their governments'
actions." (09/11/01)
http://www.tbns.net/kelly/articles/art24.html
Level-headed response to terrorism
----------
by Steve Farrell
"In the wake of the most terrible terrorist attack in this
nation's history, every American would do well to insist that
our nation's leaders prepare a strong response, and yet
an intelligent one, one that punishes our enemies but protects
our liberties." (09/12/01)
http://www.newsmax.com/commentmax/articles/Steve_Farrell.shtml
Imperial paralysis
----------
by Justin Raimondo
The hawks are out beating the drums for war -- against somebody,
anybody -- to avenge yesterday's tragedy. But, "the only way we
can 'win' such a battle is to lose the very values that we want
to defend in the first place." (09/12/01)
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j091201.html
When will we learn?
----------
by Harry Browne
"Our foreign policy has been insane for decades. It was only
a matter of time until Americans would have to suffer personally
for it. It is a terrible tragedy of life that the innocent so
often have to suffer for the sins of the guilty. When will we
learn that we can't allow our politicians to bully the world
without someone bullying back eventually?" (09/12/01)
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/browne2.html
The unknown enemy
----------
by Joseph Sobran
"Foreigners aren't quite real to Americans, and most Americans
are unaware of how profoundly their government antagonizes much
of the human race. We are easy-going people who generally have
no idea how bullying we seem to foreigners. Until now we have
had no experience of what the U.S. government has so often
inflicted on others. Now, at least, we have an inkling of what
it feels like." (09/11/01)
http://www.lewrockwell.com/sobran/sobran195.html
The unending war comes home
----------
by Ryan McMaken
"We now have a choice between two options. We can escalate the
current low intensity war that the United States is waging
against nations of the world from Columbia to Iraq. Or we can
pause and re-examine our current imperial adventures around the
world and recognize that terrorism against the United States is
the natural consequence of trying to tell the rest of the world
how to live." (09/11/01)
http://www.lewrockwell.com/mcmaken/mcmaken48.html
A tribute to trade
----------
by Lew Rockwell
"The sight of New York City's twin World Trade Center towers
falling to the ground, the result of an act of deliberate
aggression, seems to symbolize two points that seem entirely
forgotten today: the magnificent contribution that commerce
makes to civilization and just how vulnerable it is to its
enemies." (09/11/01)
http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/tradetribute.html
Apocalypse by deed
----------
by Charles Paul Freund
The scale of potential terror meets the scope of available
media. (09/11/01)
