AlterNet's Continuing Coverage of The Fallout from
9-11

In the past few days, citizens seeking a deeper
understanding
of Tuesday's brutal attacks have turned to AlterNet in
droves.
They have especially flocked to our message boards,
where our
most active discussion ever is raging:

In light of this huge demand for information and
voices that
the mainstream media is not providing, we have posted
the 
following articles:

NO, MR. BUSH, NOT EVERYONE WANTS BLOODSHED
Rahul Mahajan, AlterNet
As the calls for war grow louder, a different kind of
response
has been building as well: outspoken citizens across
the
country cautioning against rash, massive retaliation.

TO MY BABY GIRL, AFTER THE TERROR
Tim Wise, AlterNet
Soon, I will have to tell my young daughter about
Tuesday's
mass death. Will I also have to explain our
retaliation, our
infliction of more mass death to show others that our
collective
national dick is the biggest?

THE ENEMY WITH A THOUSAND FACES
Gary Kamiya, Salon
Osama bin Laden is being called a primary suspect in
Tuesday's attacks. If he is behind them, the U.S. is
confronting
one of the most stealthy and formidable foes in its
history.

WAGING PEACE IN A TERRORIST AGE
Jim Slama, Conscious Choice
Will our almost inevitable military actions provoke
more terrorism
against America? Or can we break the cycle of violence
before
it starts? Peace activist Satish Kumar thinks so.

SOLOMON: TERRORISM, TELEVISION AND THE RAGE FOR
VENGEANCE
Norman Solomon, AlterNet
In our struggle to understand the recent tragedy, the
media
has let us down with its selctive silence around
important
information. What we don't know can hurt us.

KLEIN: THE END OF VIDEO GAME WARS
Naomi Klein, AlterNet
War is most emphatically not a game, but until
September 11,
most Americans treated it like it was. Perhaps
Tuesday's
attacks finally ended the era of the video game war.
