On 2001/09/22  11:30, Tony O'Clery posted thus to the K-list: Maya Angelou, US Poet Lauriet?  Said:
 
'So it is of pressing importance that we, who claim to be launching a  
great moral crusade to seek justice for the innocent victims of  
terror, concern ourselves with the question of innocent victims of our  
policies.'
 
'The father whose teenage son is murdered in a Tel Aviv club, the  
Palestinian mother whose little daughter is shredded by an, (Israeli)  
rocket, the orphaned child in Ruanda--they sorrow no less than each  
family affected by the catastrophe in New York.'
 
Roman Catholic Bishop Raymond Roussin. Said:
 
'The clear principle is that you avoid at all costs the sacrifice of  
innocent lives. He said that 'Innocent lives cannot be forfeit in the  
pursuit of justice, because if they are, it is not justice.'
 
Namaste All, 
These are Americans who are thinking straight, without ego-patriotism  
and uncontrolled emotion. They may sound un-american or even  
anti-american to some of the voices now being heard. It is about time  
the media spent more time on the  victims instead of the beying and  
rhetoric of grandstanding politicians/pretenders.
 
Historically in the British Empire it was called jingoism, in the 19th  
century, and caused much suffering and flag waving. Gunboat diplomacy!
 
In the end we only meet ourselves, karmically, so there are no  
'innocent' victims, only the appearance of. This gives us the  
opportunity to have daya compassion and control our emotions and egos.
 
The dream sometimes becomes bad and sometimes becomes a nightmare, but  
it is still a dream.......ONS....Tony.
