As too many "Americans" place the blame for 911 on Moslem/Arab origin US citizens and legal residents, it is worth remembering the past with a sad but all to applicable poem from a sad past.
Dave http://www.hoboes.com/html/FireBlade/Politics/niemoller.shtmlFirst they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
