If you are still shaken by the horrifying scenes of
>September 11, please observe a moment of silence for
>the 5,000 civilian lives lost in the New York,
>Washington, DC and Pennsylvania attacks.
>
=============================================================================================================================================
>
While we're at it, let's have 13 minutes of
>silence for the 130,000 Iraqi civilians killed in 1991
>by order of President Bush Sr. Take another moment to
>remember how Americans celebrated and cheered in the
>streets.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
Now another 20 minutes of silence for the
>200,000 Iranians killed by Iraqi soldiers using
>weapons and money provided to young Saddam Hussein by
>the American government before the great eagle turned
>all its power against Iraq.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
Another 15 minutes of silence for the Russians
>and 150,000 Afghans killed by troops supported and
>trained by the CIA.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
Plus 10 minutes of silence for 100,000
>Japanese killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the
>Atomic bombs dropped by the USA. Only one country used
>the nuclear weapon so far.

============================================================================================================================================
>
We've just kept quiet for one hour: one minute
>for the Americans killed in NY, DC, and Pennsylvania,
>59 minutes for their victims throughout the world.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
If you are still in awe, let's have another
>hour of silence for all those killed in Vietnam, which
>is not something Americans like to admit.

============================================================================================================================================

Or for the massacre in Panama in 1989, where
>American troops attacked poor villagers, leaving
>20,000 Panamanians homeless and thousands more dead.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
Or for the millions of children who have died
>because of the USA embargoes on Iraq and Cuba.
>
============================================================================================================================================
>
Or the hundreds of thousands brutally murdered
>throughout the world by USA-sponsored civil wars and
>coups d'etat (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia,
>Guatemala, El Salvador to name a few).

============================================================================================================================================

Maybe, and although the memory of Americans
>claims otherwise, someone may remember the USA attack
>on Baghdad where 18,000 civilians were killed. Did
>someone see it on CNN? Was justice ever served? Or was
>there even any retaliation?

============================================================================================================================================

We hope that Americans finally begin to
>understand their vulnerability and the cowardly
>attacks and other tragedies that they have caused
>around the world.

============================================================================================================================================
>
The dead in other places hurt as much as the
>dead of the Towers, even more! Now, let's talk
>about terrorism, shall
>we?
