The algebra of infinite justice.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/saturday_review/story/0,3605,559756,00.html

I found this old article by Arundhati Roy on the net this morning. It was written 18 days after 9/11.

I'm amazed at this womens intellect and how prophetic she was/is.

1. Wow!!!

To think someone saw it so crystally clear then, and that once again no one paid attention to avoice in the wilderness. Is there any hope for our species or this rock in space we inhabit?

2. I too am amazed at her intellect which seems greater than the combined

intellect of the entire higher echelons of the Executive Branch of our government in aggregate.

3. Wow, what an article....

Brings up a lot of things I didn't know about, in terms of history. I know, I'm pretty ignorant... I need to do more reading.

There's a lot of foresight there, about just the way the US has behaved in the 'War on Terror', as well as the not-often-enough-repeated idea that you cannot fight a war on terror. What you can do is try to understand the real reasons for it, and do something to make changes, so that we stop angering the world...

4. The article smacks of common sense and honesty

If our country would simply face the facts rather then run to the Idiots platitudes just think of the great things that we could do!
