something's happening in kabul, the capitol of afghanistan, but apparently it is not related to the terror attacks in the states.

this might be hard to swallow, but those who planned and executed the attacks were insanely clever and frightingly successful. america experiences another trauma, probably bigger than vietnam (which was the most recent one as far as i know). don't mention the wtc...

but this is not intended to be mischievous. it just sketches the estimated extent of an insomuch enacted nation's possible reactions. this tuesday has hit a hypersensitive nerve of "god's own country" and the damage will remain.

although i definitely won't accept terror as a measure of political action, there are certainly parallels between a non-declared war of nato invading kosovo and the surprising "alien" attack of the u.s.a. both parties believe they have the right to take these steps, both believe they are right and justified.

actually, i do not expect the worst (ie. an increasing battlefield), but a heavy renaissance of conservative security trends in the way that throughout western countries exorbitant steps will be taken to monitor and control the people at the expense of their privacy.
