obviously people feel the need to talk about these things. music does not exist in a vacuum. threatening to shut down the list makes no sense.. sure there are plenty of other places that are more appropriate for political discussion but for some people maybe this is their community, or their only outlet. please try to keep it civil, though. here as in afghanistan seeking revenge might yield short term satisfaction but is no solution - and will only create more enemies. consider that there is no evidence that I've heard of that ties any of the suspects directly to bin laden, only 'suspected' links to groups 'suspected' to be connected to ObL. there plenty of other people who hate the US.. 9/11 the anniversary of bush the elder's speech to congress that signalled the start of the gulf 'war' and iraq has suffered more from the US embargo than palestine has in decades of israeli occupation. ethan --- np: people in sorrow - art ensemble of chicago --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
