As someone that lives in a very violent country, and that happened to be in the US during Sept.11 ... Let me say Sept. 11 was really effective as an attack to the US. Not because of the dead (which were not that many compared to so many other tragic events in the history of the world) or by the evident impact and confusion in the american people, but rather due to the extremely dumb behaviour from the US goverment. Contrary to what average americans tend to think, the International community: 1) Doesn't consider George Bush the "leader of the free world". 2) Doesn't understand the concept of preemptive war. 3) Is aware that invading Irak will not make the world more secure. 4) doesn't agree that the US economy is more important than the Kyoto convention. 5) Doesn't appreciate US militaries being above the international court of law. 6) Doesn't consider it cool for the US to unilateraly break the long-range missiles treaty. 7) Doesn't understand the passiveness of treatment of Israel's violations to international law. In general, I think the causes for Sept. 11 are as alive today as in Sept 11, but now the world, with a possible exception of the UK, seems to dislike more the US. Of course I'm not saying the causes would justify the tragical events. I doubt very much the Shuttle incident was related to terrorism, what I do think, is that the US will have to learn to live with terrorism just like everyone else in the world has done, and that a big sofisticated army will not solve the problem :(.
