EVERY person must feel sorrow for the victims and relations of innocent people who died in Washington and New York.
Now that emotion is giving way to more logical thought can I ask: How many candles burned in America for the police, firemen, innocent men, women and babies slaughtered in Ireland by explosives paid for by USA citizens?
Have the Americans lit candles for the butchery of innocent civilians in Vietnam by napalm?
I remember the picture of an eight-year-old Vietnamese girl burnt from head to toe with napalm. No candles for her.
Have we forgotten the butchery of innocent people in South America, by the CIA and American heroes like Colonel North.
No candles for them.
It was British Servicemen who freed the Jews from Hitler's death camps. Their thanks was to be blown to pieces by Israeli terrorists in the King David Hotel. Their successors are now the present government kept in power by the USA.
The Bible says as you sow so shall you reap. God is not a person and God for Americans alone!
