[eccr] RAISING OUR EYES

Few voices carry through the media torrent of this first 9/11 anniversary.
In this special edition, www.openDemocracy.net offers some that do:

Paul Gilroy, Scilla Elworthy, Tom Nairn, Omar al-Qattan, Pervez Hoodboy,
Susie Orbach, Paul Hirst, Buthaina Shaheen, Stephen Howe, Michael Naumann,
Steven Lukes, and our security correspondent Paul Rogers.

In response to Anthony Barnett's sober look at where we are now, these
pieces, in their different ways, provide us with something to build on.
Helping us stay connected to the feelings of vulnerability and common
humanity which marked many first reactions to 9/11, they also look to where
we go from here.

This is a moment for new thinking - and for expanding our horizons.
openDemocracy encourages a deep engagement with the issues confronting us,
from the role and nature of America, to the ubiquitous divisions between
'us' and 'them'.
