Needless to say, there are several problems with this logic. Most analysts agree that economic levels in the month of September point towards a recession. They argue that if we weren’t already in one by Sept. 11, the terrorist acts sealed our economic fates. Still, the optimistic economists are looking towards a turnaround to be sparked this holiday season, which will supposedly bring us back to the promised land of economic growth by mid February or March...
...with best intentions that we’ve deployed M-16 toting National Guardsmen to airports nationwide. But Logan Airport wasn’t the target of terrorism on Sept. 11, it was only the vehicle. M-16s would not have changed a thing. With the same well-intended logic that has soldiers in our airports, the troops could be in stadiums, malls, busy streets and anywhere else that might be associated with a terrorist threat. Then America would resemble a military state, and despite the sacrifice of so much of our way of life, we wouldn?...
...about Lane’s roommates “enjoying more space,” we can only say that as an Expos preceptor, we’d expect something more germane to his argument. However Weinberger makes one last argument in this closing paragraph that contains the least logic of all: he charges that the travesty in Lane’s leaving is that he denies a student who “belonged here” a spot. Exactly who does Weinberger think he is to make such a presumptuous comment? Is Weinberger just the pen name for Dean...
Many scholars would say that is impossible. Bin Laden, they argue, is already a hero in the Islamic world; his death will merely inspire a thousand--10,000--imitators. That lends a logic to the acts of Sept. 11. At first glance the deliberate provocation of the most powerful nation in the world made little sense. But if America's reaction to that atrocity inspires a generation of young Muslims to commit themselves to armed struggle against the West, bin Laden wins. Then all the money spent on space-age pilotless planes and U.S. special forces, with their night-vision...
...outlines of a follow-up to Afghanistan may already be embedded in the logic of the campaign against Al Qaeda there. The next step isn't likely to be going after Iraq - at least not any time soon. Without strong evidence linking Saddam to the September 11 attacks and in light of opposition to attacking the country by many key coalition partners, it may be some time before Washington is ready to go after Iraq. President Bush's warnings over weapons inspectors is certainly a signal that Washington plans to move the issue back to the front burner, but even...
