A great tribute
Here's a quote...
"Did you see the yuppies flying out the windows of the trade center?" laughed a young man outside a mosque in North London. "That was so funny."
And I can't tell that young man how angry he makes me feel. And I can't tell him how wrong he is. And I can't explain that there are many of us who have been sickened by the slaughter of Palestinian children, who will probably now care a little less about the injustices of the Middle East now that we have an injustice of our own, now that we know that young man would be amused if our own loved ones were burned alive, buried in rubble, torn to bits.
We are being forced to choose sides. The evil idiots who crashed those planes, their grotesque cheerleaders like that young man, are forcing us to harden our hearts. That's the real tragedy of that unforgettable Tuesday.
***********************************
So, do we sit back comfortably in this wonderful, unique to history country with months having dimmed the shock and pretend that this was a one time event or do we look around at those who do not share our democratic values, who slaughter their own citizens at a whim and do something about it before the next time?

Gotta love Meatloaf
Lest we forget
