Global media abhors US response to 9/11
12 minutes ago

HONG KONG (AFP) - Newspapers strongly criticised the US response to September 11, accusing the Bush administration of bungling its "war on terror" and squandering global goodwill by invading Iraq.

On the fifth anniversary of Al-Qaeda's assault on New York and Washington, editorials around the world united in condemning the attacks and expressing revulsion for the Islamic extremists who carried out the atrocity.

While papers said many people were still grappling with the immensity of what happened on that day, nearly all agreed the world had since become a more dangerous and uncertain place.

Much criticism, especially in the Midde East and Europe, was reserved for US President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq under the banner of the "war on terror."

1. BBC - "War on terror"' loses clear direction

last para : "This is probably going to take a generation to resolve, until the angry young jihadis turn into tired old men, as the Marxist-Leninists did."

4. We'll see

The signs are there, similar to the early 70s'. People are questioning
everything, not taking any "spin" off anyone, politicians, attorneys,
doctors - we're fed up, we want some hones answers to whats really going
on, so over the next few months we can see what both parties are offering
to fix the problems - environment, iraq, economy, health care. etc.
