While we're at it, let's have 13 minutes of silence for the 130,000 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 20 minutes of silence for the 200,000 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 15 minutes of silence for the Russians and 150,000 Afghans killed by the Talibaan troops who were supported and trained by the CIA. 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: two minute for the Americans killed in NY, DC, and Pennsylvania, 58 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 for the millions of children who have died because of the USA embargo on Iraq and Cuba. Or the hundreds of thousands brutally murdered throughout the world by USA-sponsored civil wars and coups d'etat (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador to name a few).
Now, let's talk about terrorism, shall we?

about Iraq-
who was it that turned off radar sites so US radar seeking missiles would hit civilians instead? certainly not the US
about Iran-
the war would have happened either way, with or without US support
about Afghanistan-
agree, if the CIA stayed the fuck out there would be no Taliban, the USSR would have "civilized" the Afghans by force and they would become like the other ex. USSR republics after the collapse of the USSR
about Hiroshima-
The Japs were fanatical and ready to fight to the death, an invasion was estimated to cost a million allied casualties and most of the adult population of Japan, I think 100, 000 is nothing compared to most of Japan.
about Panama-
Noriega's goon squads were the ones who started it by terrorizing the families of servicemen who lived in Panama bases under a TREATY with Panama. I saw a show about the SEALS in the prelude it showed how Noriegas goons stopped an SUV and dragged a US officer out and shot him in front of his family! People who can do that deserve nothing short of death!
