TEMA: Carta que critica la reacción de los Estados Unidos después del ataque del 11 de septiembre de 2001...

 

 

 

Dear Sir   

 

War sacrifices doctrines, truth and integrity as well as human life.  The values for which we are supposedly fighting are sacrificed.

 

The initiator of a supposed religious war is a traitor to true religion, but those who answer him in kind reduce themselves to his level, accept his values, and commit us to the spiral of violence ...

 

I was dismayed by the events of 11 September:  I am dismayed by the violent response which they have successfully provoked, whether or not it is called a crusade;  dismayed by the contradictory combination of massive punishment raids and humanitarian relief;  dismayed by the coalition which includes some of the most illegitimate and illiberal governments in the world;  dismayed by the further side-lining of the United Nations;  dismayed by the likely backlash in escalating terrorism.

 

Yours faithfully

 

George Walsham
