9/11 Vigils Around The World For USA - 3/11 Nada For Spain In USA
Wouldn't it have been nice if our so called Christian leader would have declared a day of mourning for Spain.

A show of support for Aznar, our ally - something, anything?

Spain was crying, we were not crying for Spain with them.

When I think back on 9/11 and the days that followed. Photos of the millions who turned out to light candles, hold American flags, mourn what happened to America. It was truly touching and beatiful.

Instead our leaders curse the Spanish for ousting their liars.

1. Bloomberg asked for a minute of silence in NYC
this morning to coincide with the time the blasts happened last week.

2. maybe nothing from our leaders but
citizens held their own rallies. Our paper had a piece on a vigil and moment of silence that Microsoft employees organized in solidarity for our Spanish brethren. I'm sure other Americans did similar things.

3. Excellent point....
what about the Bali bombings?
This is why the "attacks" are extremely suspect and why the US is
quickly losing support abroad (what little it had in the first
place...).

All we're managing to do is piss off many countries...and in the
end, they'll ALL will be gunning for us.

4. Our leader is NOT Christian
He is quite the opposite...the AntiChrist.

I was being facetious - he is the Anti-Christ

7. A moment-of-silence vigil was observed across Europe --
we seem not to care unless Americans are among the victims.
