Now Who Are The Bad Guys Again?

Child Soldiers to be Freed From U.N.-Monitored Detention Camps in Nepal

Hundreds of former child soldiers who once fought for Nepal's Maoist rebels will finally be released from the U.N.-monitored detention camps they have called home for the past three years to begin new lives as civilians. [...]

Nearly 20,000 former rebel fighters — formally known as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) — have lived in seven main camps since 2006, when they gave up their 10-year armed rebellion to join a peace process and enter mainstream politics. U.N. monitors found that 2,975 of the fighters were under 18.

The World Trade Center / Flight 11 / Flight 175

Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have.
~ Tony Parsons, British Journalist

The Pentagon / Flight 77

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land,

But the People in their weeping,
Bare the iron hand,

Beware the People weeping,
When they bare the iron hand.
~ Herman Melville

Flight 93

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
~ The Star Spangled Banner, by Francis Scott Key
