This was real terrorism, not 9/11. 9/11 was inside job.

Joseph Andrew Stack 's manifesto is frustration with American democracy. John planned his life as well as he could, earning a degree in engineering, marrying, building a home and expecting future with a good pension to sustain him in his old age. Then through a series of misfortunes and economic down turns of the past 30 years, his life began to fall apart. When he expected the American "democracy" to help people like him, he found that his government didn't care about his problems, because, as he found out, the American democracy is designed to help those in power and not the average person. At every turn and corner of his life, he was taken advantage of by the US government bureaucracy, by the elected officials who he trusted for help, and by greedy corporate officials. When he turned to the US Internal Revenue Service (tax dept) for help they only frustrated him with their confusing tax laws and incompetence. In the end, he decided that the only way America ever pays attention to an individual is when there is an explosion and dead bodies. So he violently sacrificed his life to draw attention to his plight. Another frustrated American by the name of Timothy McFey, an Army veteran, blew up the Oklahoma City government building in 1995, killing 168 people, for the same reason - frustration with American democracy. There is something in the American form of democracy that destroys people's confidence in their own government and in their society. Perhaps it's the culture of corruption and greed that it instills in the powerful people and permeates the government from top down. This is the democracy that is now being offered to the former republics of the USSR and Muslim nations. I suspect the Ukrainian people probably are very sorry that they ever bought into the American inspired "Orange Revolution" that has brought nothing but misery to their nation.

I think this was not organized terrorism but a lone case. Trouble is, he was a prime example of the amount of rage in USA that is increasing every week as more people are laid off and as envy continues. All of the states are losing money because tax revenues are down, so they are increasing taxes on those who still can pay, which increases rage again. Tea Parties are getting increasingly popular, and it is not just the Conservatives or Republicans who are going to those things. We are boiling up into something really ugly over here, and this lone case is just a rehearsal. What I also fear is that the Dept of Homeland Security will use this incident as an excuse to suppress civil liberties or restrict private pilots even more.

I salute this brave man ....

It was only matter of time before someone decided to take a desperate measure like this in the land of the safe and vigilant. America may have been democratic and free in the first 10-20 years of its existence, the Framers were idealist and i personally have nothing but utmost respect and admiration for their revolution against the colonial rule of the British. Today's America is far cry from those days. This desperate act is one of the many more to come as time goes by and Military Industrial complex of Terror remains in charge, INMHO.

This could be the beginning of a new type of kamikaze. So many peoples, not only in the USA are discussed with those to whom they give their confidence for guiding them correctly. For instance, in France, we have not seen a decent honest Head of State since the General De Gaulle. In 2007, we have even reached the paroxysm of mediocrity. Our society is sick, not from the bottom to the top but from the top to the bottom. Consequently the bad example given by the elites has gangrened the whole French society. This analyse is identical in Great-Britain, Italy, Spain and most of Western-Europe. Peoples are fed-up with their governments and their economic leaders. This suicide could become a new protest's fashion, a way to die for a purpose and for some a way to be recognized after a life of misery. The media who have forgotten their investigating missions could help by going back to their original duty and expose all those abuses of power. In my country I call them: France's grave-diggers. Sorry Future Generations...Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
