They Won: 9/11 and the American Fear Factornew
The tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is coming up, and according to some members of the media, we're all supposed to be excited about commemorating it.

Those Who Promise to be 'Tough on Terror' Ignore Its Root Causesnew
American intervention overseas, from never-ending sanctions on Iraq to permanent military bases on the Arabian Peninsula, is without question the primary cause for 9/11 and the current terrorist threat, a point the 9/11 Commission Report also made perfectly clear. But this is not the answer America is used to hearing from its politicians.

9/11: Six Years Later, Are We Any Safer?new
