            Echoes of 9/11
My personal recollection and some thoughts
on the day that has a number but not a name.
Ch. One  Existential Evasions
A beginning analysis of failed leadership and lessons not learned.
 Ch. Two: A Brief History of War
Account of the evolution of war subsequent to the Caral Age.
Ch.Four.  de plane Boss.
The start of a circumspect analysis of the impact of the cockpit doors.
During this process I decided it was way too late for such an analysis
to be useful. I realized that since 9/11 our nation  has suffered from
post traumatic stress syndrome and is practically beyond repair.
Rather. I decided to attempt to understand how we got that way.
