[This statement by the Democratic Socialist Party was issued on September 13, 2001. While it was collective document I was assigned to produce the first draft. Almost a decade later, I think it still reads very well.]

Indeed, this atrocity will undoubtedly make this struggle more difficult and aid the forces of capitalist reaction.
