Baltimore Sun (3/24/03)
Although Rita Lasar lost a brother when terrorists brought down the World Trade Center, she's outraged that President Bush has linked Sept. 11 to the war against Iraq. Bush called Lasar's brother, Abraham Zelmanowitz, a hero during a speech at the National Cathedral in Washington a few days after the attack. Zelmanowitz, 55, could have escaped, but he remained with a quadriplegic friend on the 27th floor of the trade center's north tower. Ironically, it was Bush's praise of Zelmanowitz that prodded his sister to oppose U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Bulldozing Heard Round the World. By William Hughes

Media Monitors Network (3/23/03)
The Sharonists executed Rachel Corrie, age 23, a fighter for justice for the Palestinians, on March 16, 2003. She represented the spirit of a new generation of Americans, a rising brigade of patriots, who are now on the streets protesting the Iraq war. On April 19, 1775, American rebels, at Concord Bridge, fired on the British Army. It was a “shot heard round the world.” The horrific sound of the Israeli bulldozer running over a brave Rachel Corrie is also being “heard round the world,” and its effects may be just as cataclysmic as the sound heard at fabled Concord Bridge back in 1775.
