america is the KNOWN author of suffering, america is
the "monster the beast, the unspeakable bastard" to many
people in the world. If america read the international press
and paid attention to the world events and news and
opinions then this act would NOT be shocking.
america's isolation makes news from outside - shocking.
america is mad? Well, much of the world is MAD at
america! So now america wants the world's help????
Where was america when the international community
wanted america's help in signing the Kyoto accords???

Bush did not want to "damage american industry".
What about 'damage' to people of the world???
Or try:

7000/1387075.stm for ONE international view.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Where is america when people want america's help to
stop the carnage inflicted on innocent people by
landmines?? http://www.icbl.org/news/2001/64.php
In 2000, the number of people KILLED by landmines was
DOWN from 26,000/year to 10,000 to 15,000 PER YEAR
http://www.icbl.org/news/2001/84.php
That is one (or 2) WTCs every year!!! aided and abetted
by "america's" lack of action, lack of resolve to stop this
form of terrorism & america's capitalist 'right' to make a
aprofit off of other people's suffering. When americans
are killed, america doesn't like it -- how sad.
If that is not enough: the anti-tobacco folks have been
saying for years that EVERY DAY in the US the
equivalent of FOUR jumbo jets crashing is how many
people die (daily) from tobacco. Have you been crying for
these people, demanding to "Nuke" the terrorist
perpetrators (the shareholders!)??
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Were is america when people are trying to stop the
carnage inflicted on innocent people by american made
handguns sold internationally.

Gun_Rights/
In many international places "america" is seen as THE
terrorist nation; aiding and abetting - perpetrating -
terrorism on the rest of the world through poisoning the
air we breath, landmining the ground we walk on,
exporting products that kill and maim innocent people.
Tuesday america tasted some of what goes on EVERY
DAY in many parts of the world and america cares so
little that these non-american events do not even make
the american news. america may now learn that
america is part of an international community and, that
what is needed is american co-operation - not american
ideological arrogance & ideological isolationism.
GOD & AMERICANS BLESS AMERICA, few other
people will or do.
