I hadn't realized she was still alive until the Rage and Fury essay came out online in October 2001.

I found what I believe is a complete copy at http://italian.about.com/library/fallaci/blfallaci01.htm, for anyone who wants to read it.

I was just flippping through the pages to see how large it was, and the following passage jumped out at me:

And finally we have Science, for God’s sake. A science that has understood a lot of diseases and that cures them. I am still alive, for now, thanks to our science. Not Mohammed’s. A science that has invented marvellous machines. The train, the car, the airplane, the spaceships with which we’ve gone to the Moon and Mars and soon will go who knows where. A science that has changed the face of this planet with electricity, the radio, the telephone, the TV, and by the way: is it true that the gurus of the left don’t want to say what I have just said?!? God, what pricks! They will never change.

Ah, I see now that it's either the introduction to her book, or the original essay which she later expanded into the book.

The book is 168 pages long, so it obviously has far more material. I'll have to go pick up a copy, the online essay/introduction was excellent.
