Apparently, to think about the reality of retribution and to feel real feelings of anger is incorrect. One week ago America was attacked, but today Harvard’s students have moved beyond petty thoughts. Today Harvard’s students do not feel pain and do not fear terrorists. Though they may be intrigued by the terrorist mind, they seem unwilling to admit to its full, terrifying potential...
...under a sanctions regime that has done little to weaken Saddam - and Washington's response, that Saddam is causing their suffering by refusing to buy the provide them the full quotas of food and medicine he's allowed under sanctions regime, has made little impression on the resultant popular anger. That puts tremendous pressure on the governments of even the most pro-Western Arab regimes to distance themselves from Washington.

Last week's terror strikes are part of a long-term campaign begun by Bin Laden as early as 1993, rather than simply a response to U.S. policy towards Iraq or Israel. Both issues have generated intense anti-American anger across the Arab world, and Bin Laden exploits that climate to maximum advantage - in procuring funds and recruits, but also because that anti-American feeling on the streets makes it more difficult for even pro-Western Arab regimes to cooperate with Washington...
