We never imagined our 9/11 posting would inspire equally vicious responses from both the Right and the Left. Our understanding of history, current affairs and politics in general have been ridiculed in emails we received. There is a view that if you get equally attacked by the Right and the Left then you're most likely saying the right thing. We sure hope so although we don't claim any exclusive possession of the truth. After all, we are not fundamentalists.
We would like to assure our readers of two things that, however, are dedicated to: A) Resisting fundamentalisms that desire to perpetuate intolerance through exclusivity and cultural elitism, and B) Nonviolently engaging citizens and policymakers alike with whom we agree AND disagree to further people-centric policies. That is our unequivocal commitment.
Peace.
