"The truth is I feel less outrage about the death of world-class bankers than I do about the innocent victims of American corporate and strategic global ambitions and that’s that."
Actually the people killed in New York included janitors and construction workers and just about everyone else.
In fact in one way they were 'innocent victims of American corporate and strategic global ambitions'.

"yesterday someone managed to land a major blow on the body of the beast and it felt good."
Nope one part of the beast made war on another part of the beast (as happens quite often) and as always the innocent people, our fellow workers, in the beast's shadow got killed.
Why were you protesting the Arms trade are you not against war and was this not war?
The more posts like this I read the more I despair of any hope for the future when the people who are trying to change things feel like this.

NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR!
