Pentagon/WTC Bombings, Mainstream Media, Socialist Left and Far Right

[Ken Hanly]

I wasnt angry at all when I wrote that. Read it again slowly and think about
it and place the language in context. Read what I was responding to. Someone
who couldnt understand an extreme right-wingers  logic. Its ok I accept your
apology! lol. Are we supposed to be building national unity? For what
nation? Sorry. I keep forgetting we are all Americans.

Cheers, Ken Hanly
