If you are still shaken by the horrifying scenes of September 11, please
observe a moment of silence for the 5,000 civilian lives lost in the New
York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania attacks.
While we're at it, let's have 10 minutes of silence for the 230,000 Iraqi
civilians killed in 1991 by order of President Bush Sr. Take another moment
to remember how Americans celebrated and cheered in the streets.
Now another 30 minutes of silence for the 300,000 Iranians killed by Iraqi
soldiers using weapons and money provided to young Saddam Hussein by the
American government before the great eagle turned all its power against
Iraq.
Another 6 minutes of silence for the 6,000 Russians killed by the Taliban
troops who were supported and trained by the CIA. A few more for the
Northern Alliance soldiers and Taliban soldiers, both killed with
American-bought weapons.
Plus 10 minutes of silence for 100,000 Japanese killed in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki by the Atomic bombs dropped by
the USA.
We've just kept quiet for one hour: one minute for the Americans killed In
NY, DC, and Pennsylvania, 59 minutes for their victims throughout the world.
If you are still in awe, let's have another hour of silence for all those
killed in Vietnam, which is not something Americans like to admit.
Or for the massacre in Panama in 1989, where Americans troops attacked poor
villagers, leaving 20,000 Panamanians homeless and thousands more dead.
Or the thousands of innocent Lebanese civilians killed by Israeli weapons,
supported by the U.S.
Or for the millions of children who have died because of the USA embargoes
on Iraq and Cuba.
Maybe, and although the memory of Americans claims otherwise, someone may
remember the USA attack on Baghdad where 18,000 civilians Were killed.
Did someone see it on CNN? Was justice ever served? Or was there even any
retaliation?
Or the hundreds of thousands brutally murdered throughout the World by
USA-sponsored civil wars and coups d'etat (Iraq, Lebanon,Palestine,Iran,
Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, Algeria , Bosnia, Salvador,
Afghanistan, to name a few).
We hope that Americans finally begin to understand their vulnerability and
the cowardly attacks and other tragedies that they have caused around the
world.
The dead in other places hurt as much as the dead of the Towers.
