while an admittedly brilliant plan, this whole thing is turning into a total flop.  how the hell do you 'attack' capitalism?  they sure didn't kill many capitalists; for god's sake, all the rich suits are still sipping latte's at 8:45AM!!  the buildings were just full of dumb, average schmoes.

so what's the result?

    1)  a re-invigorated israel that will self-righteously (and effectively) use this in U$ domestic politics for the next generation to assure continued and uncritical support for their occupation of the west bank;

    2)  an unfettered free-hand for amerika to go bomb the fuck out of whomever they decide needs to get slapped down.  testosterone foreign policy;

    3)  massive military budget increases and renewed spending on spies and really, really nasty 'operatives' in other countries (death squads, etc.);

    4)  a great buying opportunity on the stock market.  the rich are hoping for a 15-25% dip so they can drive out the trailer trash (pension funds, 401K's, IRA's, etc.) and buy back their damn companies;

and finally,
  
     5)  a fantastic real estate opportunity in the middle of the financial district of NYC.  federal funding undoubtedly available.

what a fucking bunch of morons.  told ya property destruction leads nowhere.  capitalists (ironically) don't put much stock in property, per se (hee hee, i made a pun).  remember, nothing has any value to them except as exchange value.  the land underneath the former WTC is now the most fucking valuable property (financially, politically, emotionally, symbolically and damn near mythically) on the whole planet.  go figure.
