So, 5,000 Americans - or 3,000 or whatever the latest figure is - out of
250 millions.
That corresponds to 100 or 60 Danes out of 5 millions. That could easily
happen if a boat or a plane were hijacked.
Or 100/60 Nicaraguans. Or 220/125 Guatemalans out of 11 millions.
Now do you have any idea how many Nicaraguans and Guatemalans were
killed by terrorists trained in the US, armed by the US and paid with
American money?
The fact that these terrorist acts were not confined to one moment of
hellish destruction, but continued for years didn't make them any less
abominable.
