13 Sep 2001 Guardian Unlimited | They can't see why they are hated : Shock, rage and grief there has been aplenty. But any glimmer of recognition of why people might have been driven to carry out such atrocities, sacrificing their own lives in the process - or why the United States is hated with such bitterness, not only in Arab and Muslim countries, but across the developing world - seems almost entirely absent.

Whether we are talking about the Balkans or the Middle East, the iron law of modern history appears to be that the more powerfully the USA and the West intervene, the worse matters become.

Blogs mentioning the attack. [ 11-Sep-01 9:07pm ] The lockdown is starting in the UK as well. Flights over London banned. Increased security. Private flights banned.
[ 11-Sep-01 8:17pm ] Batten down the hatches. All US borders closed. All planes on the ground. Armed guards (with Stingers?) round all US embassies, worldwide. All US financial markets shut down.
Are other countries potential targets? In the UK, Canary Wharf has been evacuated. [ 11-Sep-01 5:31pm ] As I heard about the WTC, I was installing XPlanet. Appropriate, to remind me where we all live.
[ 11-Sep-01 5:16pm ] This is why I'm scared to death of what the USA will do next.
[ 11-Sep-01 4:23pm ] It's still going on in the USA, but I'm beginning to wonder what the fall out of this could be. I'm feeling this quite personally as I have a flight booked to DC for Monday next. Inevitably the economic fallout is already happening. Brent crude is going up, the Euro is going up and the FTSE is heading down. Then we have to wonder about the implications for US foreign policy and for their immigration policies.
[ 11-Sep-01 3:25pm ] The New York World Trade Center is on fire. Wow! Two planes flew into the top, one into each tower. The second appears to have been a 737. I'd suggest a link but every news web site is currently overloaded.

Meanwhile the RIAA, MPAA and others stand on the sidelines applauding. No change there then.
