Dear all,

In the wake of this tragedy, it is for me - as, I think, for so many others,
to make sense of the whole thing.

Being shocked, then outraged seems to be  the absolute response.

Then comes the time of evaluating what is what we call in France 'info' and
'intox' - true-false, if you want. Or else dominant/dominated discourse if
you will.

I have been particularly concerned in reading some messages posted on
Yahoo.com, which have been, earlier, full of hatred .

Although I am not, probably, as intellectually aware as most people on this
list - what does strike me though, is the confusion, and the difficulty in
wording that remains, throughout, and wherever people are.

Sorry, I don't quite know how to conclude this message, although I do hope
sincerely the US will not retaliate against the afghans...
