I wonder if that's why JK spent so much time there in the 80s giving us lots of nice songs we wouldn't have heard otherwise !

Interesting to read Robert Fisk's account of touring the US to promote his book on the Middle East as one of the greatest experts-women in mid-America would rush up to him in tears and say .."but those Iraqis are coming to kill us and our children..". They really do believe it !

Even though the official figure is 2752 that also includes Brits, Mexicans, Europeans, Aussies, Arabs working in the building- perhaps up to a third who died -not to mention the great New York fireman-about 200 (blame Guliani).
(one bizarre tale was although most of everything was pulverised-the Duchess of York whose office was in the building-many of her dolls were found intact-yuk !)
Sad to think that all those Afghans,Iraqis and US & British soldiers had to die because of 9/11.

And as we complain about China's behaviour in Tibet, I wonder if over 100,000 have died in their troubles there
According to the Tibetan government in exile official website (not an impartial source of course) over 1.2 million Tibetans have died at the hands of the Chinese. www.tibet.com/WhitePaper/white5.html
