memo to npr on 9/11

In New York, the WORLD trade center, the preeminent symbol of global for-profit capitalism, was the target, where people from half the world's nations died. That day, 6,000 civilian non-combatants were reported to have been killed outside the US. I can see that the attack on the Pentagon was an attack on US imperialism, but in New York, it is chauvinist to think the attack was an attack on US rather than a reaction against the world being globally corporatized.
