: br> Re: Reader Mail's The New Derrida : /p> p>The replies to Dr. Rosa all missed one point: we are not new to terrorism. In the Eighties we had a handicapped citizen thrown off a hijacked ship in his wheelchair, Marine barracks bombed in Beirut, a plane blown up over Scotland and our unarmed servicemen taken off of hijacked planes and executed on the tarmac. When we retaliated against these scum, the French denied us use of their airspace. That Dr. Rosa would think that we would forget these crimes shows that the French are a little too smug in their ignorance about us and too forgetful of their own lack of fortitude in response to terrorism. br> -- Scotty Uhrich br> Glyndon, Minnesota /p>Interesting to read the sneering and haughty letters in response to "Europe Talks Terrorism" by Jacob Laksin regarding Europe's inability to deal with terrorism. Perhaps they have all conveniently forgotten the IRA and the massive funds garnered in the U.S. through NORAID. Of course it is different now, terrorism has picked on the U.S.! Also, it bears repeating that NORAID was simply a charitable and educational organization -- an Irish version of madrassahs -- remember? As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
