The following letter, from the World Trade Center bombers, appeared in the Los Angeles Daily News, March 28, 1993:
"The American people must know, that their civilians who got killed are not better than those who are getting killed by the American weapons and support. ... The American people are responsible for the actions of their government and they must question all of the crimes that their government is committing against other people, or they--Americans--will be the targets of our operations that could diminish them."
In 1986, 4 veterans fasted on the Capital steps in opposition to President Reagan's brutal war against the peasants of Nicaragua. Their slogan: "We are not worth more; they are not worth less."
Have we waked up to the fact that we Americans are not history's ultimate achievement? It's too early to tell. The neocons are still out there.
