Links I found interesting and somewhat reflective of my feelings. These articles articulate some ideas that I've been pondering but unable to express completely or concisely. One person said that these attacks had no justification. I disagree, because I believe the US government is guilty of far more heinous crimes the world over. The only difference is what goes on(or went on) in Angola, Guatemala, the DR Congo, the Western Sahara and other countries/ regions are not front page news. I don't think these attacks were the correct response, but some countries and their citizens have suffered as much as New Yorkers have, and maybe even more, due to actions supported by or orchestrated by the US and its allies.
