Date sent: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 07:38:04 -0500 From: Tim Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ========================================================== ANNOUNCEMENT: Please Forward ---------------------------- TransAtlantic Discussion of Sept 11 Terrorist Attacks and the US/European Response http://www.tiesweb.org/usattacklist.htm Sept 25 - Oct 12 To participate send a blank e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Politalk, Europe 2020, and the TransAtlantic Information Exchange Network have partnered to facilitate a structured dialogue between residents of the US and European Community during this time of international crisis. Citizens, journalists, and academics will discuss the causes, implications, and responses to the horrific attacks of Sept 11th. Already, countries throughout the European Union have partnered with the United States in investigating the perpetrators of the attack. Presumably, European nations may also take part in any direct military response. This forum is for residents of both the US and Europe (and beyond) to exchange information and discuss/debate ongoing and soon to come responses to the Terrorist Attacks. We will also address international leadership issues and the how these events were effected by or will effect the process of globalization. Discussion will be limited to 10-12 posts per day. Possible Questions For Our Discussion: 1) How will these attacks and the aftermath affect US leadership abroad? 2) What is the role of the EU in responding to the attacks? 3) How will this kind of terrorism affect the process of globalization? 4) What can the US learn from Europe in terms of security precautions? 5) Was this an attack on the US or on the West in general? 6) Does Europe share responsibility for the anger and hatred expressed by these attacks? 7) Is this War or a Police Action? 8) Are additional international tools necessary to combat this kind of International Terrorism? 9) What can we expect from terrorists in the future? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sponsors: Politalk, is based in Minnesota and has been organizing facilitated discussions on important Public Policy Issues with citizens, journalists, academics, and policy makers for over two years. http://www.politalk.com The mission of the Transatlantic Information Exchange Service (TIES) is to strengthen the transatlantic partnership by promoting dialogue between individuals on a people-to-people level.
