Not for or Against. Quite the contrary: This is precisely the title of Cedric Klapisch's film. Neither for, nor against the war. "Quite the contrary" signifies that there is no difference between the war and the non-war, and that before deciding, it is necessary to be clear about the status of the event. However, this war is a nonevent, and it is absurd to come to a conclusion about a nonevent. It is first of all necessary to know what it masks, that which it holds in place, that which it exorcises. There is no need to search for long: the event that opposes the nonevent of the war is September 11. (Review by Jean Baudrillard.) Link
