Remember more children died this week, of hunger, than died in the NY attack. 100,000 innocents have also died in the so called 'War on Terror'. WTC is a media event so it is on our tv screens, with politicians etc etc. In perspective it is a dramatic event but it is also used to show that some lives seem more important than others. To quote Gandhiji. 'Violence is the language of those that aren't listened to'. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
