	War on terrorism has not made world more secure, Australian bishop says - Catholic Online
		The rhetoric of the five years since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York has built “a climate of fear, hate and suspicion alienating rather than bringing people together,” Bishop Power said.

		Yet, pointing to “the obscene use of oil and the raping of the environment,” the bishop said that “the prosperous countries of the world seem to be selfishly looking after their own narrow concerns, often at the expense of developing nations.”
