Hi
There is a *VERY* good article in german on the Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung.
http://www.faz-online.de/IN/INtemplates/faznet/default.asp?tpl=faz/content_
archive.asp&rub={7113DBFA-05D2-4BA6-94AC-23EE31EEE75B}&doc={CF860253-DF78-4

A journalist from New York explains her views on the terror attack against
the WTC/Pentagon. (and why it is so much simpler to show the world in black
and white, than in shades of gray, why journalists and politicians keep on
not telling the truth to the americans, and why it is *SO* easy and
convenient to answer with one name 'bin laden'.)
(the only exception she states is Guliani, which acted wisely, and very
respectably.)
I will try to write down the key part here.
The attack was no attack on civilisation, freedom, humanity or the 'free'
world !
It was an attack on the United States, the only self proclaimed remaining
superpower.
It was an attack which was the consequence of politics, interests and deeds
of america.

Wo ist das Eingest�ndnis, da� es sich nicht um einen "feigen"
Angriff auf die "Zivilisation", die "Freiheit", die
"Menschlichkeit" oder die "freie Welt" gehandelt hat, sondern
um einen Angriff auf die Vereinigten Staaten, die einzige
selbsternannte Supermacht der Welt; um einen Angriff, der als
Konsequenz der Politik, Interessen und Handlungen der
Vereinigten Staaten unternommen wurde?

Sorry for being OT, but the news are so one sided, that people should
also see the other side of it.
PS: I don't understand why CNN has to show a small group of 10-20
palestinians on and on again ... this is the wrong signal.
Why not show the masses of muslims praying for the murdered americans.
And how they are really in shock and deeply sad.
Saying that the koran clearly forbids to use force against other religions!
PPS: As sad as it is, it really seems as if america is now on the
fastfood news trip.
Simplest messages are needed like: we the good ones will find "them" and
hunt "them".
Absolutely nothing about the historic and personal backgroud, which has
triggered the attacks.
CU, Ricsi
PPPS: "WAR"
Italy can declare war to Austria.
But the mafia can *NOT* declare war to austria.
If the mafia decides to act against austrian law in austria, than they will
get to court.
