�Come on. Come on. You and your�army. You and your�cronies.�

Thanks for the e-mail, but I really wasn�t expressing anti-American feeling yesterday. Just anti-evil-lying-shit eating-government sentiment. Don�t take it personally. They all are. We know this, right? Say to me you�d GENUINELY be surprised if this proved to be a government endorsed attack to justify forthcoming increases in arms spending. (�Osama? It�s George. You know that thing we talked about?�) OK, maybe a wee touch over-cynical, but you get my point. It was the unblinking immediacy of Bush's promise of retribution. All we want to hear from you for now, little man, is expressions of sympathy towards the honest people undergoing incredible suffering as a direct result of your foreign policies, so shut the fuck up with how �firm� your �resolve� is (we all know he means he�s had a huge hard-on since he got a reason to play with his throbbing arsenal) and GO TO NEW YORK and talk to people whose lives you have ruined because the terrorists aren�t going anywhere. They�ll be around, you know? And the UK press can shut the fuck up too about how many British victims there were because they were no more or less important than the illegal Indian immigrant begging for change in the shopping mall before it fell in on his head. We feel sick because human life has been lost � I�m not getting any sicker every time you tell us the domestic figure has gone up, Mr Straw. The numbers, the stats, and I know that�s all you deal in because you can�t help but ask �what�s the estimated death toll� every 20 seconds like you�ve had some office sweepstake � it doesn�t matter. Lots are dead � they came from everywhere. It�s fucked. Let�s try and deal with it without any of this SHIT.

You know?

�Come on. Come on. Holy Roman empire.�

Daytime TV said that Tuesday was a �Princess Diana moment�. Am I missing something, or are they really equating horror, suffering and carnage on an unparalleled post-war scale with an over-priveleged blond in a car crash? Tell me if I�m off the mark, here, please.

I know some of you are still missing people. We�re all hoping for miracles.

�Come on if you think. Come on if you think. You can take us. You can take us. On.�
