I have read in my local paper that approx 3000 innocent Americans and numerous other nationalities died this day a year ago. A world outrage and tragedy. However, the lowest estimation for innocent civilian casualties in the Allied bombing of Afghanistan is approx 3000. Have we not moved one inch from an eye for an eye. The western press can dress it up how they like but revenge is revenge and all the more sickening when you consider the outpouring of emotion displayed on CNN etc at human loss. Do they think that the Afghan people love their children less than we do? Why do CNN etc not mention the thousands of children dying day and daily as a result of western imbargos on Iraq?
