NEWS AND LINKS OPINION PAGES INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE CIVIL LIBERTIES ENDANGERED ROOTS OF CONFLICT POLITICAL CONTEXT RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY | Our world has changed, in more dimensions than we yet know or understand.The impact of these events range far beyond the tragic deaths, new security measures, or even 'the war on terrorism'. Freedom, fear, globalization, culture clash, religion, terrorism, perceptions, politics, propaganda, and emotion are entangled in the issues we face - and understanding their interrelations as well as their implications is paramount. No matter what actions America takes in response, the decisions we make now will shape the world of tomorrow. The editors of The Global Dialog Project invite you to participate in this debate, and to help make it into a dialog in which we learn from each other, share our grief, and come to new understandings of the world we live in, so that tragedies like this need never happen again. Don't just read! You know you want to respond and the media don't provide much of an opportunity... Give us your take on these events at our Forums, where you can discuss all those things you're not supposed to talk about in polite company, from politics and religion to propaganda and whether or not the U.S. should go to war. For something more direct, see how other people answer questions like "What is your greatest fear raised by the WTC crisis?" and "What would you like to tell the Hijackers?" Check out all the questions by looking at Reflections on the WTC Disaster, or you can respond to most articles on the site by filling out the form at the bottom of the page. And- we are planning pages for artwork, music, poetry and of course your writing - so please send it in. Suggestions for better use of this site are welcome! | TALK BACK!
