    What did it achieve, bar hatred
    And indeed if that was its aim
    It did not build the hatred they thought
    We don't hate all Moslems the same
    Some fools do, but not us all
    So it failed, the bombers dream
    We know the majority are just like us
    And the terrorists from the extreme.

    Some say it was in revenge for a plane crash
    That came down over Iran
    Ignored by the west the victims
    I read of the children dead, the story of each man
    How their hearts were broken and anger
    Their families and nations siezed
    And revenge was vowed to come in time
    And that their anger had not eased.

    And each year it will come around
    As we seek not to forget
    In the names of the victims two wars were launched
    And the fighting is not over yet.
    Two wrongs they do not make a right
    And no more right does create mistakes three
    And if this is to be the continuing folly of man
    No hope for mankind do I see.


    The reasons put forward for 9/11 are many and varied, from the nutty conspiracy theories, to Michael Fisks theory on the revenge for the Iran plane crashes during the 1980's. The one lesson that can be drawn from 911 is that two wrongs do not make a right, in fact they drive populations farther apart than ever.

    Sorry but I was more moved by "three blind mice" than this tripe.

    The U,S didn't even apologise for the Vincennes attack. Its a disgrace when the US navy with all its equipment cannot tell the difference
    between a military plane and a civilian plane.

    The US also broke international law when they attacked Iraq, there were no weapons of mass destruction
