"Two years after 9/11, is there a scorecard of who is winning and who is losing? While it is not too early to attempt a preliminary and cautious assessment, we must bear in mind that all 9/11 related issues remain extremely dynamic."

"Have you ever felt so upset that the world suddenly starts spinning right before your eyes? Have you ever been shocked to the extent that you don't even feel the tears streaming on your face? Have you ever been so angered and saddened at the same time that you think your mind is blowing up into bits? Have you ever felt so burdened by sorrow that you heart weighs very heavily in your chest?"

"Anglo-American policy in the Middle East is like a maze and it is constantly changing depending on various shifts in power. However, there is one consistent concept that overrides all of the rifts and shifts in power among the U.S. and British policymakers. The total suppression of Arab nationalism is the most integral part of U.S. and British policy in the Near East."

"And today we are asked to believe that globalization, free trade, the world bank, the international monetary fund, and the world trade organization, have all joined together in a cappella of philanthropic enlightenment to serenade us to the tunes of altruism, cooperation, understanding, sisterhood, brotherhood, compassion, freedom, democracy, leadership, and cross-cultural respect. Pardon me if 500 years of thunderous rapacity have left me skeptical."

"The above title may offend many people since it makes the proposition for one to contemplate the events of 9/11 as either a form of just retaliation or a genuine crime committed by criminals."
