I'm off to a conference today to discuss the EU and Asia one year on, in the European Parliament which should be very interesting indeed. Almost every Asian and Middle East ambassador will be present . What are you going to do today?

God's role on 9-11 from the article "As the various interpreters of God's will appear and crash airliners into buildings, or on the contrary assert that God frowns on people crashing airlines into buildings, or that God will help our blessed nation in its quest for Osama, or that God will help Osama to escape, one might ask again an epochal question: huh?"

as if we didn't have enough tacky post-911 merchandising (nytimes), now we gotta look at this. but on the upside, it verges on being outsider art...

From delusions to destruction: How Sept. 11 has called into question the attitudes by which our society lives. A long article by Robert Fulford linking the WTC attacks to racism and anti-racism. He argues, interestingly, that anti-racism may be a cure worse than the disease. Another central argument is that the attacks were timed to coincide with the time that anti-American sentiment was at its apogee. Note that this is also an excuse to bash the Globe and Mail, a rival to the National Post for which Fulford writes.

Calling up reserves? The Pentagon is considering a call up of army reservists for the first time since the Gulf War. (The last call up was in January 1991 when more than 265,000 reservists were placed on stand-by for active duty.)
