I sensed bitter sarcasm. We don't keep a record of civilian casualties when coalition forces drop smart bombs in Iraq but I knew by the end of the day yesterday approximately how many people were killed or injured in London. Why don't dead "oil-hoarding sand heathens" count? There is no justification for what Al-Quaeda committed yesterday. But it is also no excuse for what we are doing in Iraq. >From: "Lynne Phoenix" >To: "hugues" , , >, , , >, , , >, , >, , >, , >, >Subject: RE: MM: the terrorist attack in London >Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2005 12:05:24 -0400 > >I agree, this is not the least bit funny.
