Tsk, tsk, tsk....coming out of lurking with a cold bit of gallows humor and a warning of an "I told you so." IF you really think that 9/11 will be remembered as "the American holocaust" then I feel from the marrow of my bones that you are in for a great shcok, a comeupance to humble your views of yourselves and the world. (No flames please because it is my opinion that I offer with great hopes that I am wrong). In my view what has begun with 9/11 is simply a rather flamboyant beginning...were we to be discussing this as neurological event, a social convulsion, so to speak, we have in my view seen only the aura. As for news in the NYT about 9/11...perhaps you don't know anyone who was affected personally. Perhaps the videos of the towers being hit and coming down look more like a movie you watched and you are getting tired of the reviews....like "Rocky Horror Pictureshow," or "Forrest Gump". You get the picture about the film. I believe you don't get the picture about how this "undeclared war" is going to affect your future if you live in the US or anywhere in the developed world for that matter. Please consider being gentle with the NYT. Were my mother or my spouse to have died I would not be gentle with you. In fact I admit my fault that there would be no end to my rage until I had had what I would consider justice. Of course your sense of justice may differ from mine, an aspect of the social relativism that is part of our age. I admit with no shame the chauvinsitic totally Americocentric view espoused in the saying from ancient emperial Rome, "What matter if they hate us so long as they fear us." By the way, have you seen Travolta's latest effort? "Swordfish" But then he is nuts because he he is a scientologist. good weekend to ya, the horses are hungry for grain. Jim Black
