THE PENTAGON, WORLD TRADE HQ & US ARROGANCE REDUCED TO STUMPS
GETTING TUFF ON TERRORISM &
TUFF ON THE CAUSES OF TERRORISM
The news reaches us just as we are going to press.  So this is an immediate reaction.
The first question any sane person must ask, as I always say after any kind of terrorist act, is this:  WHAT WOULD SO ALIENATE HUMAN BEINGS THAT THEY WOULD DO SUCH TERRIBLE THINGS?!
The answer is not hard to come by.  Clearly, they must have felt pushed to the very end of their tethers by something they perceived as MASSIVE INJUSTICE.
We do not need to look very far to find such injustices. 
And, while we must obviously "get tuffer on terrorism," we must surely regard this as a stopgap measure until we can fundamentally sort out the injustices that are driving people to such extremes. 
To try only to stamp out terrorism (as I fear Bush, Blair and the usual suspects will do) is to ignore how their policies (their whole 'competitive culture') are causing it in the first place.  And will only push those hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who are peacefully resisting what they see as a "godless planet- and soul-destroying system" further into alienation and armed camps.  Baaad karma, GWya!
Many forces of change are swirling around our planet, beckoning from the future and from the past, all of them critical of the direction of our so-called civilisation.  Bush's administration and Bush's America have gone out-on-a-limb to demonstrate intransigent resistance to all these changes, indeed an effort to turn back the little progress that has been made!  Rogue nation
Anything which refuses to adapt will end up being buffetted by the forces of change.  The more it attacks back (AND HERE IS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE) the more and more of these forces of change will attack with more and more desperation.

LATE NEWS!!!!  IF, AS LOOKS LIKELY, AFGHANISTAN IS GOING TO BE COUNTER-ATTACKED, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE, WHO ARE REALLY WORKING FOR PEACE, UNDERSTAND THAT COUNTRY AND ITS HISTORY, WITHOUT THE USUAL DEMONISATION. 
FOR THIS REASON WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO GO TO THE PARALLEL-YOUNIVERSITY SITE WHERE WE PUBLISH AN ADDRESS BY THE TALIBAN'S AMBASSADOR IN THE USA.   PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS TO ANYONE WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT ALL THIS (NEEDLESS) HUMAN SUFFERING.

LATE LATE NEWS: "These cowardly attacks will not break America's spirit nor resolve to go on selling shit for a profit" declares defiant US president, reading prepared message live on TV.

LATE LATE LATE THOTS: The shots on TV are an EXACT fractal of the Israeli missile attacks on the Palestinian towns.  I really can't see or feel a difference, can you?  Except that the public being targeted in the World Trade building and the Pentagon are LESS innocent than the public being hit in Lebanon.

PLANET'S CORAL REEFS GONE WITHIN 50 YEARS
Rupert Ormond, director of the University Marine Biological Station at Milport, Scotland (where I used to go on my summer holidays as a kid!) told the British Association Science Festival in Glasgow last week that the planet's reefs were threatened by "bleaching" caused by warmer seas.
"Data suggest that more than 60 countries have had massive coral bleaching and mortality over large areas" he said.  "The overwhelming picture is that the bleaching is due to a steady, seemingly inevitable rise in ocean temperatures.
"I cannot see what can be done about it, given that there is something like a 50 year timelag between us trying to control carbon dioxide emissions and the ocean temperature beginning to stabilise."
The creatures that create coral reefs die because at higher temperatures reactive oxygen species kill the algae that live in symbiosis with them.
