We are not (or at least cannot accept, but live in denial if need be) unable to
produce revolution. This *must* remain the goal. The question, as I see it, is
how do we take the spin of the Afghanis' thesis that many of agree does have
holes: how do we err on the right side of the "with us or against us" divide
without isolation?

We have a situation where I have never seen this many radicals this confused for
this long. I agree with Stan that the FBI is not to be trusted- but I am about
to spend the afternoon giving an anti-war lecture to a group at the school I go
to. I simply refuse categorically to suggest the Mossad theory. The "blame"
factor among the population isn't as hard to pull off as one might think. People
do think that there must be some reason, at least here in Canada. I must be
frank- I've never seen the national divide between our two countries be clearer.
Canadians, used to thinking of themselves as deputy Americans in case of
emergency, are talking very differently than the american comrades I see online.
Are any of you telling the simple facts here? `America' is not innocent, only
the workers in the buildings were.

Our *hope* as a left can only be in the truth. The truth is, no matter who did
this, it is now mentally in the realm of the possible from the fantasy. That
will make many more attacks like this one, whether it was real or false itself,
happen.

Then what are we going to do?
