Although I was as appalled as anyone else when the planes struck the two towers and feel that it was a cruel and terrible action of war on civilians, I, at the same time, can’t understand why no one speaks of the deaths of so many more innocent people a


More innocent people have been killed than the total sum of victims in the Twin towers


A thought of compassion to ALL
killed by numb hands of aggression,
dead children of Iraq, bombed to pulp
by Americans or Muslims of another kind,
the dead and dismembered civilians of Lebanon
killed by usurpers occupying the land next door,
fed by big brother in arms of the west,
the Afghan women who wanted to go to school
and their husband who just wanted a clean face,
to all dead Indians and Tibetans
bombed in the name of hysteria
the all the blacks of America
killed by oppression, politics and poverty,
to the Roma holocaust victims no one claims
who still are a free game in Eastern Europe.

Quite right! Well written! The "free" press of the US & the UK (well, mostly not free as they are largely run by fans of Israel) are pretty selective in their reporting.

I like the Israelis being called usurpers; it's a more polite word than the term I would normally use.
