The headline, which most of the world saw, "we are all Americans" was terribly misleading, and did give a false impression of how Europeans truly felt.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-75538600728057746352007-10-23T20:09:00.000-04:002007-10-23T20:09:00.000-04:00By 90 nobody will care what she does, just as for ...By 90 nobody will care what she does, just as for the past 50 years nobody has cared what she does.

If Bin Laden, as the American authorities seem to think, really is the one who ordered the Sept. 11 attacks, how can we fail to recall that he was in fact trained by the CIA and that he was an element of a policy, directed against the Soviets, that the Americans considered to be wise? Might it not then have been America itself that created this demon?"Daniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-41423804478135478952007-10-23T15:43:00.000-04:002007-10-23T15:43:00.000-04:00Europeans have to give the illusion of being prope...Europeans have to give the illusion of being proper, raising their pinky fingers when they drink tea, going to the opera etc. so after Sept. 11 Europeans observed three minutes of silence. The day after Sept.11, Le Monde declared "We Are All Americans."<BR/><BR/>Just as Hollywood delayed the Emmy Awards, held television fundraisers. <BR/><BR/>Now the mass murder of 3,000 Americans is no big deal, and in the eyes of many people Europeans and Americans alike, we all brought it on ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Sickening. And it's only been five years.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-54968667587700243922007-10-23T14:10:00.000-04:002007-10-23T14:10:00.000-04:00From Lessings bio:Doris's early years were also sp...From Lessings bio:<BR/>Doris's early years were also spent absorbing her fathers bitter memories of World War I, taking them in as a kind of "poison." "We are all of us made by war," Lessing has written, "twisted and warped by war, but we seem to forget it."<BR/><BR/>In <B>flight</B> from her mother, Lessing left home when she was fifteen and took a job as a nursemaid. Her employer gave her books on politics and sociology to read, while his brother-in-law crept into her bed at night and gave her inept kisses. During that time she was, Lessing has written, "in a fever of erotic longing."<BR/><BR/>With age a fevered poisoned mind can go right over the edge I suppose. Fleeing from home says a lot too about her upbringing I guess.<BR/>It is sad when people must degrade, bend and belittle the death and tragedy of others for some low class jealousy they harbor. The source of such aberration of mind is hard to pin point but it is almost like the old skits where old people sit around comparing whose wound is worse, whose disease is the worst .<BR/>And, of course, the one who is in the most pain wins the sick prize and badge of honor.<BR/>It says she is 88 or so. <BR/>I hope by 90 she can finally grow up and get over herself involvement and reach out to others.Chana @ Lemon Lime Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867noreply@blogger.com
