Do you remember ?

Do you remember the world wide shock and outrage at 9/11 ?
Do you remember how not just the west condemned ?
Now fast forward over 3 years and compare with ..........
The indifference of most to the many thousands of Iraqis who have died .
( Am I alone in recalling Bush was bringing them democracy ) True we knew this was a lie but did he have to kill so many in his greed for oil ?
The indifference of the majority to the numerous Palestinians who have died .
Palestine had it's election . It was monitored as well . That the result doesn't suit USA or Israel is a joke as the last two Presidential elections could have benefited from observers .Few in the world are happy with Bush . Were they , then why does he need such massive security ?
So here we are, still boiling in a long hot summer . But better this than being burned alive by Israeli bombs .
This indifference of the western governments and their public is shameful . Sunbathing and egocentric pursuits meaning being everything.
These people identified with their 'brothers and sisters' of 9/11.
For their Arab brothers and sisters--indifference , mistrust and a sense of superiority.
Were 'whites' dying in such numbers each day not to mention having
our cities decimated by a truly aggressive force we would be looking for help .
It is still not too late to write that one email to the politicians of your country .
Not too late to participate in one demonstration against this outrageous proxy war .
You will still have your summer and with luck many more .

In the time taken to write this I dare not think how many innocents have died in the middle east .
Just in case you have forgotton why . Well all this is because two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped.
It was the reason given . Granted ,not a very good one .
By the way, I am not alone in seeing this as a proxy war .
