The attacks mean that someone, somewhere is dissatisfied with life. The attacks mean that someone, somewhere is trying to change the way other people behave. Trying to get the other people to think differently. As H.E. Major General Kulwant Singh said "Osama bin Laden once said 'If bombs were raining out of the sky onto your village or city wouldn't you get angry and want to retaliate?' The reporter to whom he was speaking had to respond 'Yes'" The attacks mean that the endless cycle of violence begetting violence is continuing its destructive route through history. In 1986 the TM organisation published a leaflet called "Maharishi's programme to create world peace, removing the basis of Terrorism and War". On page 37 we read: "Since 1,000 BC there have been over 8,000 peace treaties, and each one lasted on average no more than nine years. The League of Nations was founded in 1920 to ensure that World War I 'was the war to end all wars'. Twenty years later World War II erupted. The United Nations was established in 1945 to end wars and conflicts between nations once and for all. Since then there have been 150 major wars." Whoever caused the attacks, either the immediate hijackers or their leaders or commanders and on, up the chain of command, whoever it was, had a reason. Those reasons will be more than "wanton destruction". Lastly:
Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu, (551-479 BCE)
