Interestgly, the editorial is, in fact, real, but it wasn't written for this occasion. It was originally broadcast on radio station CFBR in Canada by famed Canadian journalist Gordon Sinclair under the title "The Americans" on June 5, 1973 as the U.S. was pulling out of the Vietnam War (Sinclair died in 1984). This editorial is considered by some to be the crowning achievement of his illustrious career. Somehow, I don't think Sinclair would mind his words being co-opted to support the U.S. after this horrible attack.--Amy E. Hamaker, editorToday's Image[ September 17, 2001: Message edited by: Amy E.
