Al Gore?
Is she not smart enough to tell us which it is?
Omitting the damage and deaths at the Pentagon, as well as the plane crash in Pennsylvania. Nice.
On ‘yer bike, Doris...
“Either he is stupid or he is very clever,” Lessing said of Bush”
At least with her there is no choice involved.
JUST STOOOOOPID!
To avoid cognitive dissonance, at various times she chooses one or the other to be true.
“Some Americans believe I’m crazy. “
That’s a 10-4 little buddy.
I’m disappointed in Doris Lessing. She started out as a Communist, but left the party and seemed to be making sense in her later novels. I guess not.
Not to excuse everything the IRA did, they were fighting for Irish liberation from centuries of British oppression. I say that although I am in general an Anglophile.
Also, with very few exceptions, they phoned warnings before bombs went off, and went out of their way to avoid killing innocent civilians. The IRA Provos, a splinter group, were less considerate, but even they were not nearly as evil as al Qaeda.
In recent years the IRA has kept the truce, even though the other side has not kept its promises to let them share power in the government.
bttt
This American thinks you're crazy as a coot, honey. If 3000 dead in two flaming skyscrapers wasn't "extraordinary" then perhaps you might come up with another instance remotely resembling it? No? And if 3000 innocent people dead in a flaming holocaust wasn't "terrible" then what was it?
I wasn’t aware that the IRA killed nearly 3000 people in the space of a few hours.
No sooner than Al Gore wins a Nobel a bunch of the Laureates are revealed to be lunatics.
not to mention 3000+ innocent lives.
More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland

Doris, put down that crack pipe!

“Of the 1,800 people killed by the I.R.A. since the late 1960’s, about 650 were civilians rather than members of security forces or paramilitary organizations.”

“Among the more than 3,600 people killed in political-sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, Britain and the Republic of Ireland since 1968, the IRA and rival anti-British groups were responsible for more than 2,000 dead.”
