Chris Hedges essay on 9/11

Tom Becker reads Chris Hedge's Truthout.org essay: "A Decade After 9/11, We Are What We Loath." In it, Chris reflects on some of the responses he saw in New York that fateful day in 2001 and on the way that nationalism, chauvinism and a spirit of revenge infected the wound of the 9/11 attack. He argues that much of the US response to the attack has realized the violent world [that Hedges suggests] Osama Bin Laden envisioned.
