Why The Surprise?: "I Want To Be A Pilot So That One Day I Can Bomb Americans!"

Who saw it coming? An American (and definitely a minority) view of the September 11 terror bombings.

It's good to see some one posting a sensible article here, I feel the same way you do, and yes I do care about those that have died, I cried for most of the day on Wednesday, but I will never support any military retaliation for what happened.

Most sensible article I've read anywhere. Though I too cried for the victims, I was not surprised at all that the attack happened. I am saddened too because here in the UK we seem to be supporting the very causes of this disaster - are we next?

More worrying...

Is it not more worrying that despite the attacks on his own people through chemical warfare, futile wars, lack of democracy, absence of the rule of law, tribal intolerence and random fascist terror, this child still sees the main enemy as being from another country?
