What happened on the 11th has been a devastating blow to the psyche of America and particularly its elites. Their terrorist management of the Middle East from afar is suddenly quicksand where they find only open graves.
Politically this is a crisis which is unprecedented, already there is the makings of an anti war movement and the 'coalition' includes only the running dog brits. Pakistan have managed to extract 40 bn dollars as the price of their treachery. the consequences of a flawed military adventure could be the collapse of the Saudi fascist regime, an uprising against the dictatorship of Pakistan, elements of its army going over to the other side and the involvement of China.

Thes are big disasters for America as even a stalemate outcome could mean much higher fuel prices and inflation and an economic conflagration which has already begun could become really disastrous.

So it is true that the attacks were very effective. The Kmer rouge, an excellent terrorist outfit who were also friends of America and the brits, managed to get rid of all the capitalist planning buildings in Cambodia thorough a similar slaughter of the workers routine. Indeed the Taliban are no slouches when it comes to kayaking through rivers of blood to get beyond the reach of capital. But these and the trade towers are fascist strategies which are about less freedom and more domination. we are presented with a war between two fundamentalist and anti human positions, to see one take a lump out of the other over a few thousand dead human beings is to see a future where there are executions in the streets.

It feels nice to see America wake from a day dream to a nightmare, to see Bush, the celebrated imbecile who made a virtue of his ignorance with which people could identify, it feels nice to see him so out of his depth and to know that he and cheney will fuck this up. These are people who believe that america lost Vietnam because it had its hands tied behind its back and their impulse is escalation and slaughter.

But feel is something you do with your hands, right? not your head. Whatever way you look at it this is bad news for more people than it is good news for. New parts of the Middle and Far East will now be occupied by America and the despised squaddie, the cycle of terror will continue and it will be worse. We will organise a peace movement and one for economic justice and against capital. And we will be sucessful, but these conditions are their terms not ours.
