Twenty-three years ago on September 11th, a great big catastrophe hit the world. The US suffered a direct hit that was bad enough in terms of death and destruction. But the reaction by the US military-industrial complex was orders of magnitude more devastating to the world. Trillions of dollars worth of arms and ammunition was unleashed on millions of innocent civilians while protecting the guilty.
A few days later on Sept 17th, 2001, I wrote a piece on my UC Berkeley blog (which is no longer online.) I reproduced that piece on this blog: The Looking Glass War.
