The essays in "9-11: Was there an alternative?" by !Chomsky were "practically the only counter-narrative (traced the history of American intervention in the Middle East and throughout Latin America as well as in Indonesia, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan) out there at a time when questions tended to be #drowned out by a chorus, led by the entire US Congress, of 'God Bless America.' It was one of the few places where the #other side of the case could be found." "any escalation of #violence as a response to violence will inevitably lead to further, and bloodier, attacks on #innocents" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-11:_Was_There_An_Alternative%3F cc @question
