People in the USA:
I want thru this forum to express my sincere sadness for the huge human 
tragedy caused by this people that justify such massacre calling it "Holly 
War", "Fair Revenge" or some other bullshits like that.
I hope the responsibles of such treachury action in the World Trade Center 
will pay for this undescriptible crime.
USA suffer a crisis today, and everybody knows that the word "crisis" also 
means "chance". USA have the chance to grow up, to become more sensitive, or 
become mad, hungrier and vengative.
It is an particular oppinion of me, a person from Argentina, from South 
America, a person who admire the American people and his marvelous 
achievements along the 200 years of your nation's life, but who can also see 
his faults.
Perhaps now, when America is in pain, with the fear is cutting it to the 
bone, perhaps you, the US good will people, will understand the pain, the 
sorrow and the fear that you -intentionally or not- caused to another people 
around the world, you will understand the pain and the sadness suffered by 
the citizens of Baghdad in 1991 and the same ones suffered by Belgrade's 
inhabitants in 1999.
You ask for sympathy and pitty now, and you certainly deserve it. But, Did 
not deserve such sympathy the Iraqi man who lost his whole family in 
Al-Almiryah bunker in Baghdad on 14 February 1991, when a Paveway 
laser-guided bomb of 2,000 pounds dropped by a F-117A killed 314 INNOCENT 
Iraqi civilians? Did not deserve the same sympathy the 55 innocent Yugoslav 
civilians who died when USAF destroyed a railroads bridge near Novi Sad 
menawhile it was been crossed by a train? Did not deserve such sympathy the 
innocent Chinese civilans killed in the China's embassy in Belgrade on 4 May 
1999 by a Tomahawk cruise missile? And I did not see any show of pain in the 
American people when such "mistakes" happened. I will not defend the Iraqi 
and Yugoslav governments at that time, the world would be a much more 
beautiful place without Saddam Hussein or Slobodan Milosevic, and it is also 
true that, excluding the attack against he Chinese Embassy in Belgrade (I 
don’t think that it was a “mistake”), those strikes were not intentional. 
But the results remain the same, those Iraqi and Yugoslav civilians are 
death, and those death civilians were not responsible of any crime, their 
only mistakes was being Iraqis or Serbians. They are as innocent as the 
American people murdered in the Twin Towers on September 11. Neither them 
nor your killed countrymen are guilties of the action performed by their 
respective governments.
Since my point of view, since the end of the Cold War in 1989, and in part 
due to "Desert Force" and "Allied Force" you started to think that your 
country was untouchable, that your government could bomb any country without 
fear to retaliation, that you could do to others whatever you want (no 
matter if those people really deserve it or not) and nobody could do 
anything against you. And now you realized in a tragic way that such thing 
it is not true.
I admire your country, I admire your grown-up and stable Democracy, the way 
you receive people all around the world and give them a chance of living in 
peace. I would like to have in my own country such chances. One of your 
historical figures, Abraham Lincoln, is for me the top example of good will, 
kindness, morality and defence of freedom. So, do not take my words as the 
ones told by an Anti-American. I'm far from it. My sincere condolences to 
all of you in these terrible times.
Now you are on your knees, but you will be back on your feet again. God 
bless America.
Diego Fernando Zampini.
