Symbolic date
September 11th 2006 has a special significance. It not only marks the fifth anniversary of the attacks on New York and Washington, it also marks 100 years to the day that Mahatma Gandhi launched the modern nonviolent resistance movement.[Link.]
Ironic, isn't it?
I think everyone remembers what they were doing on 9/11 five years ago. I was in the Wolfgang-Händler-Hochhaus, in the computer lab of the Technische Fakultät building. I was concentrated on some homework for my 'Scientific Computing' course when my friend Max who was sitting next to me said (in Spanish): "@#$%! The towers in NY have blown up!" Of course...I only came to grasp the complete picture of what had happened a lot later.
I wonder where the world is going to be five more years from now? ten? fifteen?...
