Wright, a Pulitzer Prize-winning staff writer for The New Yorker, brings exhaustive research and delightful prose to one of the best books yet on the history of terrorism, The Looming Tower. He begins with the observation that, despite an impressive record of terror and assassination, post--WWII, Islamic militants failed to establish theocracies in any Arab country. Many helped Afghanistan resist the Russian invasion of 1979 before their unemployed warriors stepped up efforts at home. Al-Qaeda, formed in Afghanistan in 1988 and led by Osama bin Laden, pursued a different agenda, blaming America for Islam's problems. Less wealthy than believed, bin Laden's talents lay in organization and PR, Wright asserts. Ten years later, bin Laden blew up U.S. embassies in Africa and the destroyer Cole, opening the floodgates of money and recruits. Wright's step-by-step description of these attacks reveals that planning terror is a sloppy business, leaving a trail of clues that, in the case of 9/11, raised many suspicions among individuals in the FBI, CIA and NSA. Wright shows that 9/11 could have been prevented if those agencies had worked together. As a fugitive, bin Ladin's days as a terror mastermind may be past, but his success has spawned swarms of imitators. This is an important, gripping and profoundly disheartening book.This event took place September 14, 2007 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA. [ More Detail ]

Lyrics:1949 Performer Leo FuldTitle Where can I goLyrictext Wi ahin Zol ich Gein?Wer can entfern mirWi ahin Zol ich Gein?Fur es sloss jeder tuhrSiehe auf links, siehe auf rechtsAu te soll im jedem LandAs wi ahin Zol ich Gein?Tell me, where can I go?There's no place I can see.Where to go, where to go?Every door is closed for me.To the left, to the right,It's the same in every land.There is nowhere to goAnd it's me who should know,Won't you please understand? Now I know where to go,Where my folk proudly stand.Let me go, let me goTo that precious promised land.No more left no more right.Lift your head and see the light.I am proud, can't you see,For at last I am free:No more wandering for me.A memory from the internet:"There is a song -- and a question -- that haunts me from childhood: 'Vi Ahin Soll Ich Geh'n?' ('Where Can I Go?'). Some time in the 1940s (probably around 1948 when the State of Israel came into existence) Leo Fuld, the 'King of Yiddish Music', recorded the song in Yiddish and English. We frequently played the record, an old 78 rpm, at our North London home. My mother would sing it with feeling, as if its questions were hers and its answer an answer to her prayers. To the best of my (and her) recollection, the English version of the first verse was as follows:Tell me, Where can I go?There's no place I can see.Where to go, where to go?Every door is closed to me.To the left, to the right,It's the same in every land.There is nowhere to goAnd it's me who should know,Won't you please understand? Even without the soulful melody, these despairing words ring in my ears; when sung they go straight to the heart. As a young child, the first verse seemed to me as melancholy as Kol Nidre -- the solemn supplication that opens the evening service on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement -- but less obscure. Here was a person in a nightmare: lost, shut out, cut off, set apart, a voice crying in the wilderness. I was a child and I understood crying. I understood lost as well. 'Won't you please understand?' Oh, but I did, to the core. But where to go, where to go? The song itself supplies the answer, expressed in the jubilant second verse:Now I know where to go,Where my folk proudly stand.Let me go, let me goTo that precious promised land.No more left no more right.Lift your head and see the light.I am proud, can't you see,For at last I am free:No morewandering for meשיעור יידישTitle: Vu Ahin Zol Ikh Geyn?
