How about a Baudrillard voice-over: (...) That we dreamed of this event, that everyone without exception dreamed of it, because no one can fail to dream of the destruction of any power become so hegemonic - that is unacceptable for the Western moral conscience. (...) To put it in the most extreme terms, they did it, but we wanted it. ... Hence the delirous counter-phobia of the exorcism of evil: it's because the evil is there, everywhere, like an obscure object of desire. Without this deep complicity, the event would not have the resonance that it does, and in their symbolic strategy, the terrorists undoubtedly knew they could count on this inadmissible complicity. (...) ---------------------------- Guess J.B. was on to something there. Are those images of the collective psyche emerging from the reverend's kinky mind? Is that what the flag-waving is meant to repress?
