And to distort:
| precisely nothing in what I said indicates racism.
If you are going to see one person's death as more important than another's
on the basis of which country they come from then that's racism. Some might
say that USAmericans aren't a race as such; but then race itself is an
illusion.
I had no intention of distorting, nor do I think I have. You think
USAmerican deaths more important than others? Racist
It's certainly an appalling attitude... We have the same thing here. Habeas
corpus is to be suspended in some cases - it's all right, says the Home
Secretary, it'll only be a few foreigners
The US government

| victims -
There are people all over the world who, like you, say - I quote you - "my
nation, if attacked, has the right to defend itself and punish its
attackers"; and they also say "USUK has attacked my country and I have the
right to punish it"
I imagine that was what motivated whoever attacked WTC
Every day which passes gives more fuel to that. What protects these
countries is technology & intelligence and sometimes technology and
intelligence fail... In Jerusalem, the current US mission calls this a cycle
of violence and urges that it stop because it just makes things worse
| I am so sick of you people. Self-righteous, irresponsible, consumed
| with envy ...
"you people" is illuminating.
Self-righteous and irresponsible I can follow in the light of what else you
have tried to say; but "consumed with envy"? No point in going on. Not till
you grow up. I guess that'll take more USAmerican deaths.
What a cruel waste L
