RE: [313] WTC et al.
I'm really frightened at this point in time. The president has announced his intent to retaliate (but without detail), according to sources at slashdot.org and various news pages, the military is on the highest alert (threatcon delta). I really hope that this is not the only solution beleive me , people that are ready to crash airplans into bullidings are ready to make even worst things. (maybe this seem to you as worst thing that could happen, but its not) maybe its not in best of human behavior to retaliate, but who did this act can only understand the language of force. situation in world at this point of time is very unstable, and things that could happen after any american atempt to retaliate could be unpredictable. my stand is that america should react on any possible way to show to those that are ready to fight with america, that its not smart. that is my stand and it comes from things that happend in my country few years ago. but what should you do... bring them to justice. what should be the punnishement for what happend? b. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [313] WTC ET AL
it seems to me that all those people have died in vain if we do not think about why they died. and i hope no-one else will be chastised for discussing something other than this tragedy on this list. kaojyan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [313] WTC ET AL
i agreethat we shouldn't be pointing fingers at palestinians yet since we haveno idea really who did this. just like the world tradecenter bombing in OKC, people arequickto blame... my condolences go out to the family and friends of those dead or injured. please be safe if you are out in the nyc or dc area and be grateful you just happened to not be inthe areas affected. :( *crosses her fingers and hopes that nothing morehappens* lauryn. ps. my space bar is screwy. blah. ++ ==Lauryn M.

Re: [313] WTC ET AL
Thanks to Lester for his warming and thoughtful comments. I only hope the US president can think as clearly as he has. I'm really frightened at this point in time. The president has announced his intent to retaliate (but without detail), according to sources at slashdot.org and various news pages, the military is on the highest alert (threatcon delta). I really hope that this is not the only solution, I sincerely feel for all in DC and NYC and all on the planes that were crashed. I hope everyone I know is alright. take care, stay well todd - Original Message - From: Lester Kenyatta Spence [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; the family [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 1:02 PM Subject: [313] WTC ET AL I'm sending this to a few different lists as a sidenote... In the wake of this tragedy, I've already seen implicit and explicit newscoverage blaming Palestine, and Palestinians for the tragic event. NBC cameras have gone to the West Bank showing cheering children. Brokaw has called this a declaration of war. The bottom line is WE DO NOT KNOW WHO DID THIS. I've already had an argument with a student who wanted to bomb them to hell, referring to Arabs/Palestinians. And I heard one professor mutter something that sounded an awful lot like a racial slur after seeing the cheering spectators on the West Bank. PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THE MILITARISTIC IMPULSE! This is a time for prayer and reflection... Secondly I've received a couple of emails with chicken-roost-type language. Not only is such language inappropriate given the tragedybut given the heightened security measures the government usually takes at times like this, such language can be DANGEROUS. Do not USE such language over the net. This is a dire time. But we have two choiceswe can either be human, or be barbaric. lks - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] WTC ET AL
reread my message. where did i say that we shouldn't think about it? this would make sense if i had posted to you privately. i thought your message was very sensible and i totally agree with you, but it did not suggest anything to do with why these attacks happened. maybe you need to reread your message or pay a little more attention!! kaojyan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
