> The true target of the terrorists who attacked New York and Washington last
> week were not the twin towers of South Manhatan, neither the Pentagon
> Building. The criminal attack was perpetrated against a social and economic

> was not an attack from the excluded from the third world that, tragicaly
> but effectively, was made heard in the Empire. It was an agression
> perpetuated against the dearest and most fragile occidental values:
> democracy and free market economy.

> What really bother the fundamentalists to their exasperation, pointed out
> as main suspects perpetrators of the attacks, is not America's arrogance or
> its support to the State of Israel. What the radicals do not tolerate, over
> everything, is the modernity. Is the existence of a society where the justs
> can live without being disturbed and the poor have real possibilities to
> achieve prosperity with the fruits of their work. This is the real anathema
> of the terrorists that attacked the United States. They are envoyes of
> death, the theocratic, medieval, tyrannic elite, that have absolute power
> in their feuds. For them, democracy is satanic. For this reason must be
> fought at and destroyed."
