ANY person with a hint of humanity will condemn the atrocious attack on America. However, for our sympathies to lie completely with America rather than the people who died, who were from all over the world, is wrong.
Where do you think the group who are thought to have carried out this attack get their weapons from? Answer: America.
Which country do you think sanctions terrorist attacks when money is gained by the selling of weapons to groups such as the Mujahadine? Answer: America.
Which country is responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians in countries all over the world, from Yugoslavia to Iraq? Answer: America.
For Britain to observe minutes of silence for the people who died is respect. To play the national anthem of a country responsible for thousands of human atrocities across the globe and who even advance warfare beyond our skies is appalling.
If the world were a playground, America would be the big bully and the rest of the world the victims.
I wish to play no part in hiding behind this monster as Britain does. This horrific situation brings to mind the saying, you get what you give.
