September the 11th 2001
"Anti-Americanism" - a failure of the imagination
The date September the 11th 2001 hold significance in other parts of
the world more...as well... From the documentary "We"

Arundhati Roy (born November 24, 1961) is an Indian novelist,
activist and a world citizen. She won the Booker Prize in 1997 for
her first novel The God of Small Things.
Roy was born in Shillong, Meghalaya to a Keralite Syrian Christian
mother and a Bengali Hindu father, a tea planter by profession.
She spent her childhood in Aymanam, in Kerala, schooling in
Corpus Christi. She left Kerala for Delhi at age 16, and embarked
on a homeless lifestyle, staying in a small hut with a tin roof within
the walls of Delhi's Feroz Shah Kotla and making a living
selling empty bottles. She then proceeded to study architecture
at the Delhi School of Architecture, where she met her first husband,
the architect Gerard Da Cunha.
An unparalleled benchmark in documentary filmmaking. A wicked
soundtrack. Powerful imagery. Arundhati Roy's speech strikes to
the heart - every word poignantly and poetically weaving an
intricate tapestry of our modern global ache. America, hear her clarity
in objective voice; be confounded by it's compelling incisiveness.
The film brought me to tears... grief is an under-rated thing in the
American culture; main stream tv and movies have done a good job at
Desensitizing the general public to what really happens when a person
We love dies.
"Donald Rumsfeld says that his mission in the War Against Terror was
to persuade the world that Americans must be allowed to continue their
way of life. When the maddened king stamps his foot, slaves tremble in
their quarters. So, standing here today, it's hard for me to say this,
but "The American Way of Life" is simply not sustainable. Because it
doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America."
This documentary and Arundhati's words come closest to the truth
about how an unnecessary death ruins people's lives, how the deaths
of countless innocent people we do not know on the other side of
the world hurt so many people, and ruin so many lives. I could go on
about so many other excellent points made in the film but won't.
I just want to thank Arundhati Roy for putting this out here, on
Anti-Fascism, Anti-Bush, Anti Fear, Anti-War, Anti-Globalism,
Anti-Cheney, Anti-CFR, Anti-IRS, Anti-SPP/NAU/UN, Anti-Stupidity,
Anti-head up Butt... WAKE UP AMERICA!
