Well, all I can say is, it was the most shocking moment of my life. And I think the moment when I actually saw television images and, afterwards, photographs of my book being burned was the moment that engendered in me the kind of fury that I can't remember otherwise feeling.

 The purpose of this site is to help acquaint you less with the events of 9-11 than with the broader cultural and historical background of terrorism. Thus this site focuses less on recent developments -- the latest actions in Afghanistan or the investigations of the anthrax outbreak -- than on analyses of the roots of those events which have had such a transformative effect on all of our lives. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
