Don’t pile wrong on top of wrong

Editor: 

I’d like to reply to those who’ve written justifying the bombing of Afghanistan by equalizing it with the bombing of the World Trade Center. Two wrongs do not make a right. They also do not provide safety. Historically, wrongs have generated third and fourth and on and on wrongs. The United States of America is inspiring new generations of terrorists by bombing Afghanistan and Iraq and supporting Israel’s genocide for “lebensraum” and proclaiming that “we’re number one” (badly). 

Justice, not vengeance. Praises to Dona Spring and the others. I think it’s about OIL.
