From: X Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 13:45:49 -0400 To: xxx Subject: Food For Thought Who did it? Foreign Report presents an alternative view Israels military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman officers believe, were two of the worlds foremost terrorist masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the ailing Osama Bin Laden. The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably the worlds most wanted outlaw. Unconfirmed reports in Beirut say he has undergone plastic surgery and is unrecognisable. Zawahiri is thought to be based in Egypt. He could be Bin Ladens chief representative outside Afghanistan. The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda. The Israeli sources claim that for the past two years Iraqi intelligence officers were shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri. According to the sources, one of the Iraqi intelligence officers, Salah Suleiman, was captured last October by the Pakistanis near the border with Afghanistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad Mughniyeh. "Weve only got scraps of information, not the full picture," admits one intelligence source, "but it was good enough for us to send a warning six weeks ago to our allies that an unprecedented massive terror attack was expected. One of our indications suggested that Imad Mughniyeh met with some of his dormant agents on secret trips to Germany. We believe that the operational brains behind the New-York attack were Mughniyeh and Zawahiri, who were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence Service (SSO)." Mughniyeh was the only one believed to have tried it before. On April 12th 1997, he was reported to be only two hours away from achieving the highest goal of any terrorist organisation (until last week): blowing up an Israeli El-Al airliner above Tel Aviv. A man carrying a forged British passport with the name Andrew Jonathan Neumann was in a Jerusalem hotel preparing a bomb he was supposed to take on board an El-Al flight leaving Israel, when it accidentally went off. Andrew Jonathan Neumann was very badly injured but strong enough to reveal later to the Israelis that he was not British but Lebanese, and that his operation was supposed to be a special "gift" to Israel from Imad Mughniyeh. A psychopath "Bin Laden is a schoolboy in comparison with Mughniyeh," says an Israeli who knows Mughniyeh . "The guy is a genius, someone who refined the art of terrorism to its utmost level. We studied him and reached the conclusion that he is a clinical psychopath motivated by uncontrollable psychological reasons, which we have given up trying to understand. The killing of his two brothers by the Americans only inflamed his strong motivation." Experts on Iraq and Saddam Hussein also believe that Iraq was the state behind the two terror masterminds. "In recent months, there was a change, and Iraq decided to get into the terror business. On July 7th, they tried for the first time to send a suicide bomber, trained in Baghdad, to blow up Tel Aviv airport (Foreign Report No. 2651)." Our sources believe that it will be very difficult to get to the bottom of this unprecedented terror operation. However, they believe the chief of the Iraqi SSO is Qusai Hussein, the dictators son, and his organisation is the most likely to have been involved. Mughniyeh, 48, is a "sick man", says an intelligence officer who was in charge of his file. He is considered by Western intelligence agencies as the most dangerous active terrorist today. He is wanted by several governments and the Americans have put a $2m reward on his head. [Detailed list of Mughniyeh operations removed for Non-Subscriber Extract] It was the assassination of one man in March 1984 that is said to have made Mughniyeh the CIAs most wanted terrorist. Mughniyeh allegedly kidnapped the head of the CIA station in Beirut, William Buckley. The kidnapping triggered what later became known as Irangate, when the Americans tried to exchange Buckley (and others) with arms for Iran. However, the attempt ended in a fiasco. By one unconfirmed account, Mughniyeh tortured and killed Buckley with his own hands. A year later, in a combined CIA/Mossad operation, a powerful car bomb went off at the entrance to the house of Hizbullahs spiritual leader, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah. Seventy-five people were killed. One of them was his brother. Hunted by the CIA and the Mossad, Mughniyeh hid in Iran. In February 1992, Israeli helicopter gunships attacked the convoy of the then head of Hizbullah, Sheikh Abas Musawi, in South Lebanon. Musawi, his wife and children were killed and the revenge attack followed a month later. According to press reports, Mughniyeh was called back into action and, in a well-planned and devastating attack, his people blew up the Israeli embassy in Argentina. The building was demolished and 92 were killed. Only last year, after a long investigation, did Argentina issue a warrant for Mughniyehs arrest. The reprisal for the attack in Argentina came in December 1994, when a car bomb went off in a southern Shiite suburb of Beirut. Four people were killed. One of them was called Mughniyeh, but to the deep disappointment of those Israelis who planted the bomb it was the wrong one. Mughniyehs life was saved, but his other brother Fuad was killed. Mughniyeh waited for his opportunity for revenge. Our Israeli sources claim to see Mughniyehs signature on the wreckage in New York and Washington. How to counter this kind of terrorism? "To fight these bastards you dont need a military attack," said an experienced Israeli commando officer. "You only need to adopt Israels assassination policy."

Mineta Sent by: DOT NEWS Services <DOTNEWS@www.dot.gov> 09/11/01 08:20PM Please respond to dot.news Tuesday, September 11, 2001 7:30 p.m. (EST) Contact: Chet Lunner Tel.: (202) 366-4570 DOT 93-01 Statement of Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta One of the most cherished American freedoms is the freedom of movement, the ability to move freely and safely. Today that freedom has been attacked. We will restore that freedom throughout the national transportation system as soon as possible. And we will restore the highest possible degree of safety. These terrorist acts are designed to steal the confidence of Americans. We will restore that confidence. We have already taken some first steps. As a precaution, I have ordered the FAA to ground all commercial air traffic until at least tomorrow afternoon. After the attacks, some of our aircraft were diverted to Canada. We owe our Canadian neighbors a debt of gratitude for helping us redirect over 120 flights and their passengers to airports in Canada. As of 6:00 p.m., AMTRAK resumed its passenger rail service. Major railroads have taken steps to protect their assets, as well. The United States Coast Guard is taking all necessary actions to control the movement of any vessel in any navigable water in the United States. Coast Guard helicopters have been assisting with medical and national security tasks. We are currently looking at a wide variety of additional security measures to increase traveler security. Travelers will see increased security measures at our airports, train stations and other key sites. There will be higher levels of surveillance, more stringent searches. Airport curbside luggage check-in will no longer be allowed. There will be more security officers, random identification checks. Travelers may experience some inconveniences. We ask for your patience. But we must do whatever it takes, with safety as our highest priority. The Department of Transportation is working closely with the White House and appropriate federal agencies to mount a coordinated, nationwide recovery effort. Each American must know that we will restore our national transportation system to a safe and efficient status as quickly as possible. Our system has been severely burdened by the stress of these horrendous attacks, but we will recover. In a democracy, there is always a balance between freedom and security. Our transportation systems, reflecting the values of our society, have always operated in an open and accessible manner. And, they will again. Please be assured that we are activating all of our resources on an emergency basis, and services will be restored as soon as possible.

Today we are all Americans Dear Klaus and Kerstin: Thank you so much for your very caring and inspiring message. We feel the same way that you do. Bruce and I returned yesterday from Europe and there were many different emotions upon arriving in the United States and New York. On our approach to JFK airport, we circled out quite far over the water and then banked over the East River side of Manhattan on our way in. The sky still holds a haze and we could see the Statue of Liberty and then the tip of Manhattan, where the remains of the World Trade Center buildings were visible, marked by a rising plume of smoke. It was very sad and eery to see the altered skyline. The Empire State Building has resumed its former position of ascendency, but an anchoring point was clearly missing. Most of the people on our flight were Americans who had been stranded in Europe and were just trying to get home by going through New York---they broke into applause when we landed on American soil. JFK Airport was practically deserted (compared to the usual situation) and we had to have our passports ready before we were even able to get off the plane. People at U.S. Customs were very welcoming to us and none of the passengers seemed to mind the enhanced security. On the way to Manhattan where my apartment is, the traffic was really reduced and alot of cars (particularly taxis) had American flags flying. Passing by apartments and shops on the way home, there were American flags of all sizes being displayed from windows and flags at half-mast everywhere. On the streets, people have posted photographs and notices about loved ones who are missing, in case anyone has any information. There are flowers and little memorials outside of various fire stations and people are being very generous, donating whatever they can to various funds for remaining family members and helping wherever possible. Mayor Rudy Guiliani has been tireless and inspirational and is not ready to give up hope that some of the trapped people could still be alive---neither are we. In general, people are being very thoughtful to each other and you just have a sense of camaraderie with passer-bys as you walk down the street. Security is definitely being heightened and, for example, our office building in mid-town Manhattan (which was quite lax) is requiring everyone to show their work identification card on entering or re-entering the building and we can't receive any packages in the offices. We have to go to the lobby and open them there (we are on the 41st floor of this 65 story building). I think there is also the sense of "waiting for the other shoe to drop"---so people are being extra cautious. At the moment, there is a sense of determination, but also of fragility and concern for ourselves and for the whole world. For those of us lucky enough to have children, we want to have this beautiful world be a safe place for them to live in and for their children and future generations, as well. While we were in Europe--either by direct contact or by e-mail---we had so many communications from people who shared their sense of overwhelming disbelief and outrage that this could have happened and who expressed their solidarity with Americans in this tragic event. As you noted in your wonderful message, people have already come closer together. We have much hope that the world will pull together on this one and that we, as a world, will be able to overcome this evil of terrorism and its root causes. Thanks again, Klaus, for taking the time to think about us and write to us.

I am OK and still in Saudi Arabia. I do feel quite safe here, safer then back home. The Saudis have rather harsh punishments for crime--they cut off body parts. You will lose a hand for stealing and your head for killing. They don't mess around. It's a pretty effective deterrent. I am enjoying my experience out here. I'll have to fill you in more later when I have more time to write. I expect to stay here atleast another 16 months. However, don't worry, if I ever feel my life is threatened, I'll be outta here. Really, I am quite safe. I suspect that we have lost our Tom P, our class historian. Let me know as soon as you are sure and how to get in touch with his family to send along my condolences. I am fortuntate that my family members were not harmed. My parents live 30 minutes from NYC and my Aunt, although in the city on the day of attack, was safe. My co-workers from ... who worked in the WTC have all been safely accounted for. I am close with two of them. I am off to Germany tomorrow. More later. Keep me posted, R. ------------------------------------------------------- Hi R., I wanted to try and reach you now that things are less frantic and make sure that you are OK. Are you still in Saudi Arabia? As much as I am sure that would have been a fascinating experience, I must admit that I hope you are back in the states, or at least on your way back. Everyone is fine here - except for being buzzed by F16's daily... R., I don't know how closely you've been in contact with ... or any of the people from high school this week, but I wanted to let you know that I've heard that Tom P. from our class was on board the American airlines flight that crashed into the WTC. I woke up this morning and turned on CNN and they had his name, along with all of the other passengers, running in a ticker. It was one of the most horrible things I had ever seen - to see his name just scroll across the screen, followed by so many others. The age was correct, the flight originated in Boston and it said he was a camera man for Fox Sports. Considering how he always ran around senior year with a video recorder attached to his shoulder.... well let's say I have very few doubts as to whether or not there could be two Tom P.'s who would fit that bill. M. is trying to confirm it for me. I will let you know anything I hear from her, of course. Please drop me a line when you have a chance and let me know what is going on. I'd really like to make sure that we still keep in touch. Take care of yourself. E. September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Message-ID: <F177EI2rV4ZneAzdfTV000014c2@hotmail.com> X-Message-Number: 001 First & foremost, I'd like to thank everyone around the world for their prayers, concerns, etc.. I rec'd several e-mails, from concerned Listers & would like to thank them all. I believe that I was the first to post the list on Tuesday morning's tragic events. Immediately after I posted, I evacuated my building, 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, NJ. (about 3/10 miles accross the water from the WTC) I cannot express in words, what has transpired since I last spoke w/the List. Nor can I express what I saw, just a few hundred yards from the WTC. Amazingly, all of my friends who worked in the area have survived. One was late for work, another at a golf outing...luckily the rest escaped on time. There were some broken bones, but everyone (at least I think) that I know has survived. The sad reality is that I have dozens of neighbors & friends who can not say the same. I wouldn't dare tell everyone the horror that many of my friends witnessed. I heard stories over the past 2 days that have crippled me emotionally. Nothing is as real as being 6 inches from someone who is telling you what they lived. I have also heard stories that have inspired me. After being "stranded" in NJ until 9:30am yesterday (not really I crashed at my uncle's house) I returned to my apartment in Staten Island w/a new friend. Tommy is unable to get back to his home in Battery Park City (up the block from the WTC). I recently learned, that Staten Island is now closed off at all borders due to terrorist suspicions. Funny, seems like I'm locked out of my house while someone else is locked in, w/his foot in a cast. Not as tragically, I will not be able to attend WDGAH V, as my bike is down & I have too much to deal w/@ home & work. I am now counting down the days until COTU III & WDGAH VI! ;) I hope everyone has a great time in light of what has happened & look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Mark said: I am sure if you knew JB personally you would know that he would never jeopardize an operation in progress. The information about his former team mates was broadcast on the local TV stations when they moved out to Norfolk. Their destination is unknown as is their mission. The local papers mentioned their mount out with any destinations left blank. Did you notice his signature at the bottom of the message or was this just a knee jerk reaction ? I have been his friend for over twenty years and and trust his judgement in all military matters. My .02 worth. VFR content, does anyone make a left side high mount for my Y2K ?

He now lives with his true love in Chinatown, about 10 blocks from theWTC, and he saw most of what happened first hand - including the collapse of both towers. What he describes is beyond belief! He got to his office this morning with great difficulty, and is now waiting to learn if he has to work tomorrow, which apparently depends on whether the stock market is open or not. If he's not working, he and Chris Pitts are planning on meeting me and my buddy Richard at my place in Connecticut at around 10:00 a.m., and we'll head for West Lebanon (although if its raining and looks like its about to stop, we may delay the departure for a little while). Although we didn't discuss this, knowing Bill, if he has to work, he'll leave NYC after work and be in NH late Friday night . . . (didn't he do something like that two years ago at Lake George?)

I was just thinking today that my encryption keys should be given to the FBI in order to make sure I don't say anything wrong. Nice to see my homeland has upheld its freedom. I quote John Perry Barlow, EFF (eff.org): As most of you know, I believe that the United States has gradually, subtly, invisibly to most of us, become a police state over the last 30 years. --snip-- Within a few hours, we will see beginning the most vigorous efforts to end what remains of freedom in America. Those of who are willing to sacrifice a little - largely illusory - safety in order to maintain our faith in the original ideals of America will have to fight for those ideals just as vigorously. I beg you to begin NOW to do whatever you can - whether writing your public officials, joining the ACLU or EFF, taking to the streets, or living visibly free and fearless lives - to prevent the spasm of control mania from destroying the dreams that far more have died for over the last two hundred twenty five years than died this morning. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wtcattack/message/93 For those who don't know, John Perry Barlow is a songwriter, cattle rancher, and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Despite how you may feel about him personally, he fights for the rights of all Americans. _______________________ Pat: As long as your penchant for "rights" is appropriately balanced with a clear understanding of the "responsibilities" that attend each of those rights, I can live with this kind of diatribe. The ACLU, and their ilk, however, seem to constantly yammer on and on about the rights that define freedom in America...... That's simply unadulterated BULL****. It's really the execution of our personal responsibilities that guard our freedom and subsequently guarantee our rights.

Message-ID: <F64NI10MKQ7MxJBKSNl00011cfe@hotmail.com> X-Message-Number: 017 Thank you all for your concerns, I am fine. I am sorry I was unable to contact anyone before now, but the situation around here is ... I can't find a word. I had a coworker email us Tuesday morning because they stopped his train and said that there was a fire at the WTC which didn't alarm anyone. 5 seconds later a member of the Unix team here came over and said that Ray (my boss' boss) just came out of the WTC and a plane had hit it. We threw on the radio at my desk, which indeed confirmed that a large plane had struck the north tower, and we all ran outside to watch. We got out there in plenty of time to watch as the second plane smashed into the south tower, I was on a payphone talking to my girlfriend at the time and our line was cut off the instant the second plane hit. I was 8 blocks away and a minimum of 600 feet below the blast and I could still feel the heat. Paper fell from both towers for what seemed like forever, some of it burning, most of it just glittering in the sun. Then the people started to jump .... I watched some of them .... it was like being on the set of a movie, one with no special effects ... I don't know any other way to describe it. We stood there, a co-worker and I, and just watched, stunned, frozen, confused, frightened ... you name the negative emotion, we all felt it. By this time they had evacuated our building too, and as my whole company watched ... the south tower crumbled in a diplay of sight and sound that I can't remotely begin to describe. 5 seconds later I turned around and walked back to the apartment in China Town that I'm currently living in. I got there just in time to turn on the news and watch the second tower crumble. My girlfriend and I stayed glued to the news Tuesday night, finally deciding around 6PM that we'd go get my car from the parking garage, get my cell phone and personal items from the office (I'd left them all upstairs not realizing what was about to happen), and we'd go give blood. We got to the office, and it wasn't just our office anymore, the front atrium was a triage center. We couldn't get in the building at all, so we tried volunteering. NYC ... an amazing place. By this time they had had more volunteers than they needed at the triage center. We walked up 3 blocks where they were taking voluteers for Ground 0 cleanup ... but since neither of us were iron or construction workers, we were turned away. We went to the Red Cross a few more blocks away, but they were full as well. We went and got my car out of the parking garage, bastards charged me the surcharge for leaving the vehicle past 7PM ... and headed for uptown where we would try to give blood. Asked a cop near the Holland Tunnel if he knew where the nearest blood center was, and he asked us if we could give a fireman a ride up to 66th Street. His name was Mitch, nice guy, apologized for putting his helmet on my dashboard because he didn't mean to dirty my car ... he explained to us that they needed people to drive the ladder truck out of this fire station because the entire company had been lost when the first tower collapsed ... the entire company. We tried to give blood, but they were turning people away and asking us to come back tomorrow, we went home and called it a night. The next day was just as eery, if not worse. No vehicles ... none at all except emergency and construction vehicles, allowed to move below 14th Street. I had my car, but I couldn't move it. At Houston St., a barracade set up that stretched from from the east edge of the island to the west, no one in or out unless you had ID showing that you lived there. I went to walk my girlfriend to work on 33rd St, but I had to turn around before the barracade otherwise I wouldn't have been let back in. I went back home (China Town), grabbed my camera and 8 rolls of film, and went for a walk. I can't describe what it's like, walking along Canal St, with not a vehicle in sight other than the occasional dump truck or police car. Canal St is bumper to bumper every day of the year, every hour of the day ... and it was just empty, as was every other street for as far as I could see. I tried getting south of Canal so I could get to my office and retrieve my cell phone which is where I have all my friends and family's phone numbers stored, but no one, not even residents, are allowed down there. I watched for a few minutes as one couple pleaded with officers to let them by, their dog hadn't eaten in 24 hours and would starve to death soon, but the police had their orders and no one was let past. Got a call from my bosses last night, asking me if there was any way that I could get to the office tomorrow. Woke up early, went over to Canal, and tried asking nicely, but there was no way. Ended up waiting by a small side street where they had only posted two cops to watch, one went for coffee, and while the other turned to yell out a change to his order, I had to slip under the rope and hide behind a dumpster for a minute before silently moving away and slipping over to my office ... I feel like secret agent man. Well, I'm back at the office now, finally have access to email, and finally have my cell phone back. I'm one of the ones fortunate enough to not have known (at least I don't think so at this point) anyone involved in this horror, but my heart goes out to everyone touched by this gutless act. Someone was very stupid Tuesday .... they have once again brought up on it's feet, a sleeping giant. May the cowardly souls who committed this crime be subjected to horrors and pains they never thought were possible. God have no mercy on their souls.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Dear friends, Thank you for your e-mails expressing your concerns over the events fo the last few days... it has been, as you can imagine, an unbelievable, almost surreal set of events. All hospitals in the entire metropolitan area have been placed on highest alert, esential personnel are being required to stay in house at all times... I myself have only just returned from long evening of anticipation and seemingly eternal stress. The stream of casualties has been slow... a mixed blessing, in that it has been manageable, while on the other hand, the slower the pace, the poorer prognosis. The city is literally under "martial law"... all bridges and tunnels have been closed, mass transit is at a standstill, and businesses are largely shut down... driving into the city today (as medical personnel) traffic congested streets were vacant... there is a palpable sense of foreboding, and deep concern. The extent of the trauma is not yet realized... an estimated 10,000 people were in the WTC buildings at the start of the business day. I returned home this evening to see a gathering of 8 children under the care of a resident in my building... each of whom who's parents have not "returned from work" in the financial district... There is a overhanging, nauseating smell of burning rubber that lingers over the city, and perhaps most physically evident, a gaping hole where the twin towers used to mark the NYC skyline. It may seem cliché now to speak of the "spirit of New Yorkers", but I can tell you, there is a remarkable outpouring of volunteerism, hlines in blood donation lines, hundreds deep, and people opening their doors to firemen, and police to take a nap or take a shower. It is incredible. ON the medical personnel front, this disaster is larger than any of us could have imagined... and the medical students and residents that make up the backbone of the health care network in NYC have been truly heroic in their efforts. As the events unfold in upcoming days, we can only hope for the best...

My Home Town Friday, September 14, 2001 It was a spontaneous outpouring of sorrow and solidarity. Our Brooklyn neighborhood gathered at a local elementary school just as darkness was falling. The rain clouds had lifted by then, and in the fading warm light of the western sky we could still see a trail of smoke and dust rising from ground zero. There was no organization to speak of, no speeches, just a few cop cars and fire trucks blocking traffic, clearing the main street of Park Slope. Shoulder to shoulder a cross-section of our community -- young and old, children in tow, Black, White, Asian, Latino, and Muslim stood in solemn silence with candles held aloft. And then we began to march. And the pockets of song began: Amazing Grace, We Shall Overcome, America the Beautiful, This Land is Your Land, Give Peace a Chance. Not always in pitch, but heartfelt, tears flowing. Thousands of individual flickering flames burning a point of hope in a very dark week. And then we arrived at our local fire station. Fire Squad # 1 is an elite unit and was one of the first at the inferno. Twelve of their fire fighters are missing and presumed dead. Men who went into a burning building to save lives. Men whos own lives will never again lighten the eyes of wives, children, parents, and friends. This is the same fire station where my daughter, Lucia Kai, often went to sit in the drivers seat of the hook and ladder truck, a heavy firemans helmet sagging over her eyes. I spent the past week in a shocked, listless trance, spending hours in front of the television, following a story that makes no sense. Trying to find some community of understanding that will allow me to process the swirling, confused emotions that have descended on this city, indeed, on all of America. What kind of religion or political cause can justify the brutal destruction of 5,000 innocent lives. What kind of hatred does it take? How can this evil arise in a civilized world? And I fear for the future. Even while we mourn the loss of life, I have enormous apprehension about how the Bush administration will respond. I think the brutality of this terrorist strike will make many people, liberals and conservative alike, cheer a retaliation against the perpetrators, if they can be found. This can be argued. But it is not what I fear most. Already the conservative forces in this country, with Bush as their champion, are turning this event into a clarion call for their own "religious war." We are rapidly descending into a second Cold War. We will live by fear, fighting enemies real and imagined. Shadows of suspects around the globe will be created by our political ideology. And if history repeats itself, as it always does, this new Cold War will justify an enormous abuse of power. We will once again divide the world between them and us. Once again, every global and domestic decision will be seen through the prism of this new ideology. On our side will be only those countries and individuals who support our interests. Everyone else will be an enemy. It will likely spawn an evil, not as blunt as this recent terrorist strike, but a slow, creeping evil that will erode our soul as a country. During the last Cold War, we justified overturning democracies, supporting dictators and right-wing hit squads, and the loss of countless innocent lives. There is no reason to believe this new Cold War, fueled by a similar ideological view of the world, will be any different. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world had begun to seem wonderfully Technicolor. Now, I fear it is quickly reverting back to black and white. Today, the New York Times quoted an old saying from the 1960s: "We dont know what [weapons] World War III will be fought with, but World War IV will be fought with rocks." Perhaps, a glimmer of hope lies in the spirit of a different America. An American, not of political slogans, but a country that simply stands, truly stands, for its ideals. A number of times in the past week my 4.5-year-old daughter has taken her building blocks and rebuilt the twin towers, so that she can "save all those who became dead." This time she says, she will build the towers out of bricks so they cant burn down. I like to think that each of those indestructible bricks is a voice against the hatred that occurred on September 11th, and the hatred that is now building in this country.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Just don't really know what to say. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and your family and friends at this truly awful time. We cannot believe it here in the UK and we are all outraged at what has happened. As the time wears on the realisation of the awfulness of it is hitting home. Now the stories have a more human element with pictures of the victims and recordings of their last words on answer phones. I hope that you and your loved ones and friends are all ok and are safe. We in the UK are all subdued and very upset by all of this and all our flags here are at half mast. We played the US National Anthem at the Changing of the Guard this morning and tomorrow there will be a Europe-wide day of mourning for all those who died and a 3 minute silence at 11am. Know you probably don't feel much like writing back but just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Much love.

From: xxx Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 22:54:30 EDT To: xxx Subject: Re: Petition for Peaceful U.S. Response I don't pretend to know jack about U.S. Foreign policy or Global Politics and the rise of totalitarian regimes. Even though I've alwasy been fascinated with the Totalitarian characters that spice up the world we live in. The fact is though, that we created Bin Laden and others like him in the past, and probably will create others in the future, fighting the dirty wars that Americans don't want to get involved in. And then we abandon them and their countries and in ten years or so they turn against us. It happens over and over. So...what do we do? We are between the proverbial rock now. The Frankenstein Monsters we have helped to create must be killed before more damage is done. And in the future, we need to avoid getting into these quagmires by improving economic, cultural and political ties towards this part of the world or the Arab world in general than we ever have before. I could be full of it. Who knows? The gulf between US and THEM is far too great I fear. THEY hate our way of life as it stands alone, without all the baggage of the past. Plus, RELIGION is involved. And that mixes with politcs, etc. like Ike and Tina Turner. Hey...how about those Mets?

IT'S A NICE THOUGHT. IT'S FAR FROM REALISTIC. YOUR MISTAKE IS ASSUMING THAT THEY OPERATE WITHIN THE SAME LOGICAL BOUNDARIES AS DO WE. IT'S A NICE THOUGHT. IT IS COMPLETELY ERRONEOUS. THE LOWER LIFE FORMS THAT ATTACKED US HAVE SAID IN DOCUMENTED INTERVIEWS THAT THEIR GOAL IS TO BRING ABOUT THE DEMISE OF THE UNITED STATES AS WE KNOW IT. YOU NICE PEOPLE THAT SEND THESE WELL MEANING ALBEIT NAIVE E-MAILS AROUND FORGET THAT WHEN THEY DO SUCCEED IN DESTROYING OUR WAY OF LIVING, (WHICH THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO DO UNTIL THEY ARE EITHER KILLED BY US OR KILL THEMSELVES IN SOME OTHER DEVASTATING MANNER ON OUR SOIL) THAT THEY WILL COME IN AND THROW YOU A BIG ROLLER SKATING PARTY AND SHOWER YOU WITH ADULATION IN RETURN FOR YOUR SUPPORT. RIGHT. THEY WILL KILL THE MEN AND THEY WILL STONE THE WOMEN UNTIL THEY BOW DOWN TO WHATEVER THEIR NEANDERTHALIC DESIRES MAY BE. (PROBABLY NOT AN ARGUMENT ABOUT WHOSE TURN IT IS TO DO THE DISHES.) I REALIZE THAT THIS COUNTRY OPERATES ON A CHECK AND BALANCE SYSTEM AND THAT YOU PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN UPON YOURSELVES TO DO THE CHECKING. THIS IS NOT THE TIME, HOWEVER, FOR IN-FIGHTING (WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS THIS HAPPENED) AS OUR COUNTRY NEEDS TO PULL TOGETHER PLEASE KNOW THE IMPLICATIONS OF YOUR REQUESTS FOR "PEACE" BEFORE YOU START YOUR PARADE AND IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY THE FREEDOM THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING SO HARD TO GIVE UP. I WONDER IF OSAMA WILL LET YOU HAVE A PARADE WHEN HE OWNS THE WORLD? HMMM... The freedoms of which you speak have already been systematically eroding through a jaded world view known as Neo-Liberalism -- a term known by most Europeans, but few Americans. What Neo Liberalism amounts to capitalism with its gloves off. Take a read sometime in something other than the going mainstream news rags. It is not naive to point to the drastic polarization of wealth occurring both in this country and world wide. Nor is it naive to point to the norm in U.S. foreign policy as that which supports military despots in exchange for cheap crude oil and other unrefined products at the expense of human rights and any kind of quality of life for the majority populations of these countries. Nor is it naive to point to the "terrorist" tactics of the U.S. military in targeting the sophisticated water system in Iraq -- a maneuver entirely against its civilian population, and our continued bombing of that country resulting in 500,000 mostly civilian casualties -- to name just one example of what has constituted U.S. foreign policy. If the disenfranchised of this world view start taking up arms and terrorist tactics, I suggest we start looking into the deeper causes of this occurrance, which I have here tried to exemplify. A change in U.S. foreign policy would be far more powerful than a protracted war in which many innocents will perish. Taking on an enemy such as bin Laden starts with understanding what made him. And that is what has given him his power, since that has always been his tactic with us. ----- Original Message ----- From: xxx To: xxx Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 3:06 PM Subject: Petition for Peaceful U.S. Response Subject: Fwd: Petition for peaceful US response Please sign the Petition at xxx which appeals to world leaders to be level-headed and, wherever possible, peaceful in their response to the recent attack against the United States.
