An Article from England.
No matter what your views on President Bush’s statement of upcoming war, this, from an English journalist, is very interesting. Just a word of background, for those of you who aren’t familiar with the UK’s Daily Mirror. This is a notoriously left-wing daily that is normally not supportive of the Colonials across the Atlantic.**********************************************************************
Tony Parsons Daily Mirror September 11, 2002
One year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of broadcasting - the mass murder of thousands, live on television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot’s Mountain of Skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi concentration camps. An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing – nobody deserves this fate.
Surely there could be consensus: The victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil. But to the world’s eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as America’s comeuppance. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over the last year. There has always been a simmering resentment to the USA in this country; too loud, too rich, too full of themselves, and so much happier than Europeans - but it has become an epidemic. And it seems incredible to me. More than that, it turns my stomach.
America is this country’s greatest friend and our staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture, language and blood. A little over half a century ago, around half a million Americans died for our freedoms, as well as their own. Have we forgotten so soon? And exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women and children - not just Americans, but from dozens of countries, were butchered by a small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray them?
What touched the heart about those who died in the Twin Towers and on the planes, was that we recognized them? Young fathers and mothers, somebody’s son and somebody’s daughter, husbands, wives, and children, some unborn.
And these people brought it on themselves? Their nation is to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter?
These days you don’t have to be some dust-encrusted nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park to see America as the Great Satan. The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world’s only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission.
The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11. Remember, remember – Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, “I love you,” before they were burned alive.
Remember those people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers.
Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive.
Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mum.
Remember, remember - And realize that America has never > retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have.
So a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked up without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex.
So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti.
AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot.
That it didn’t is a sign of strength. American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq - that’s what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute’s silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination?
When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom- loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that - and didn’t push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a “war on
terrorism.” A real war.
The fundamentalist dudes are talking about “opening the gates of hell,” if America attacks Iraq. Well, America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn’t believe.
The US is the most militarily powerful nation that ever strode the face of the earth. The campaign in Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the planned war on Iraq may be misconceived.
But don’t blame America for not bringing peace and light to these wretched countries. How many democracies are there in the Middle East, or in the Muslim world? You can count them on the fingers of one hand - assuming you haven’t had any chopped off for minor shoplifting.
I love America, yet America is hated. I guess that makes me Bush’s poodle.
But I would rather be a dog in New York City than a Prince in Riyadh. Above all, America is hated because it is what every country wants to be - rich, free, strong, open, optimistic. Not ground down by the past, or religion, or some caste system. America is the best friend this country ever had and we should start remembering that.
Or do you really think the USA is the root of all evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women who leaped to their death from the burning towers.
Tell it to the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands worked for the New York Fire Department.
To our shame, George Bush gets a worse press than Saddam Hussein. Once we were told that Saddam gassed the Kurds, tortured his own people and set up rape-camps in Kuwait. Now we are told he likes Quality Street. Save me the range center, Oh Mighty One!
Remember, remember, September 11 -
One of the greatest atrocities in human history was committed against America. |

may this be due to the isolationist approach that the US has taken. May this be due to the "I am the savior of the world" Syndrome that Bush is currently suffering?
May it be cause by statements like "Whoever is not with us is against us?"

oh yes, i am sooo touched.. this is the usual, make me cry by individuals' fates' approach to getting the public on someone's side.

yes, please do, because a Nation, who claims to be free and EQUAL is starting to employ the SAME tactics as some communist countries did to take care of political opponents. Isn't is SAD to see a country, so bold and proud as the US and so much focussed on its value of freedom, kick exactly these values in the dirt?
| quote: | | So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti. |
'cause we all know, that Afghan are just 2nd class people, similar to blacks, until the US gave them the right to be equal. I thought it says something like "we believe ALL people to be created equal"
then again, I understand, accidents happen. I never shed a tear for these people.
| quote: | | AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot. |
of course, and it did not, because it values life. But just because u have the ability to do something extreme and you don't doesn't make the less extreme that much better, does it?
Analogy, which uses the SAME reasoning: hitler could have thrown all left handed people into the concentration camps as well, bcause they were different, but he didn't so the holocaust, isn't all that bad, now is it?

in my eyes America != Bush |

America being so called the super power of the world didn’t have intelligence about the activities that were going to take place on 9/11/01? I mean come on after all this is the super power of the world. They just let all those people die just to tie this to saddam and go fight in Iraq.
First America puts them in power then they go back in as the saviors of the world to take them out of power
Pathetic is all I have to say |
