Ironically this is what the Israelis said to the Americans as well.
: Kev, true sentiments. I was speaking with some
: friends recently about the fact that
: because the violence was perpetrated
: against the two citadels of commerce and
: military might of the worlds greatest
: ever power, (to quote Johnny Howard) the
: act was far worse that similar acts that
: are perpetrated across the globe on an all
: too regular basis. I do not wish to
: diminish the suffering. But one of the sad
: points to note is that to mention a
: sentiment such as this in the face of such
: suffering as was experienced on Sept 11 in
: New York and Washington, one risks the
: wrath of true Americans patriots.
: Following Sept 11, one Palestinian was heard
: to say, Please America, we know how you
: feel. Surely now you know how we have been
: feeling for decades.
: I wrote to the SMH today and left this
: message in their email box.
: So now we know how to wage a war on terror.
: Be more terrifying. When will we learn
: that the aim of the terrorist is to
: manipulate in such a way that we act out
: of fear and do not think then act?
