I understand that citizens of over sixty nations died on Sept.11 in New York. Amongst the 3000 dead were nearly thirty Canadians.
Have any media types determined just how many of the casualties were foreign citizens and not Americans?

I know that the UK figure was revised down from 300-500 to just under 100. I also know that one would have been too many.

Now I keep hearing people say it's wrong to bomb the poorest country in the world. Surely it's just as wrong to bomb the richest country in the world. Or did I miss something?

Peter you didn`t miss a thing!![although I heard it was 83 countries].Afghanistan was ASKED to give up bin Laden,the Taliban refused.The United Nations[not just the USA]took action.Maybe it`s time that Islam reformed and stopped breeding such monsters.

I would not paint all of Islam with the same
brush.Other Religions have had there
mad men,the guy in Waco the Fbi and
ATF killed with a lot of victoms
plenty of power mad Popes down thru the years
and ofcourse our good friend Rasputin
I think the root of terriorist is the third
world wants a better life and sees the wealth
of the west thrown in their face and
religious thugs take advantage of the
ignorant masses to push there selfserving
agenda

Before we condemn all Moslems as being monsters, it might be appropriate to point out that Dzugashvili (Stalin) was a seminarian in the Russian Orthodox Church and Hitler and Mussolini were at least nominal Catholics.

The murderer you are referring to is an FBI sniper named LON HORIUCHI, who shot Vicky Weaver in the face as she held her baby in her arms.

The lawyerette who helped the murderer go free was PATRICIA MAHER, and the judge who the dismissed the charges against the murderer was EDWARD LODGE.

Yes, I've said that before, and every time the subject is brought up I'm going to say it again.

BTW, Horiuchi is now cowering in the federal witness protection program, which is probably a wise move for a man with his past.

The root of terrorism against America is the fact that we won't get out of the middle east and mind our own stinking business.

They keep telling us that and we keep not listening.

It's also interesting to note how Horiuchi's story changed. The first version was that he shot her because he thought she was aiming a weapon at a passing aircraft overhead, The final and OFFICIAL version is that he was firing at someone who was actually armed and the bullet riccocheted and struck her accidentally. He is either a poor shot or a poor liar.

Anyway, I'm sure he was awarded the Janet Reno Seal of Approval.

Horiuchi's story changed more times than the magazine on his sniper rifle.

Federal Marshals first murdered 14 year old Sammy Weaver as he ran for his life back to the Weaver family home.

FBI killer Lon Horiuchi then attempted to murder the father, Randy Weaver, by shooting him in the back as he went to see the body of his dead son. Under fire from Horiuchi's position, Randy ran back to the house where his wife, Vicky, held the door open for him. As she opened the door, Horiuchi fired again... this time murdering Vicky with a shot in the face as she held her 10 month old baby in her arms.

Kevin Harris was also shot by federal agents and would have been allowed to die had the family not surrendered to the 400 man federal force days later.

Harris and Randy Weaver were acquitted of all charges, and paid a total of 3.5 million of your tax dollars to compensate for the things the government says it didn't do.

And in case anyone missed it, PATRICIA MAHER and EDWARD LODGE set the murderer free.

Very nominal.

Today they would classify as "non-practicing" Catholics (whatever that is).

Guess that makes me a non-practicing ax murderer.
