All those little people standing on their little soap boxes hectoring and lecturing the US in the pages of malaysiakini should perhaps take a long look at themselves. So it is Uncle Sam's foreign policy, backing of Israel, sanction of Iraq, bombing of Hiroshima, etc. that is really to blame for the death of over 5,000 innocent civilians, and not those terrorists?

You might as well blame the Holocaust on the money-lending habits of six million dead Jews if that gives you any pleasure. Let us say that Hitler only did what he had to do.

For those who are too quick to judge, the sanctions on Iraq are placed by the United Nation, not the US. Since Malaysia is part of the UN, it would perhaps be justified to take down the Petronas Twin Towers in the name of suffering children of Iraq? And please explain why Uncle Sam is solely responsible for the misery of the Iraqis while Saddam Hussein does not even rate a mention.

I will not be reading malaysiakini when the bombs fly in Afghanistan, knowing that it will turn itself into the 'Taliban Tattle' and its columnist MGG Pillai will be screaming his impotent rage in poorly-worded phrases.
