"Lessing says IRA attacks worse than 9/11" by Associated Press October 23, 2007
MADRID - Nobel laureate Doris Lessing said the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States were "not that terrible" when compared with attacks by the IRA in Britain.
Lessing, the Nobel Literature Prize recipient, told the Spanish daily El Pais in an interview published Sunday:
"Sept. 11 was terrible, but if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn't that terrible. Some Americans will think I'm crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor as extraordinary as they think. They're a very naive people, or they pretend to be.
Do you know what people forget? That the IRA attacked with bombs against our government; it killed several people while a Conservative congress was being held and in which the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was [attending]. People forget."
[She just doesn't get it, does she?
She INSULTS us while BUYING the 9/11 bullshit!
And, no Ma'am, WE NEVER FORGET!!!!]
Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. About 3,700 died and tens of thousands of people were maimed in more than 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland. The Irish Republican Army guerrilla group, which caused most of the deaths, disarmed in 2005.
Attempts by the Associated Press to reach Lessing in London for comment yesterday were unsuccessful. Her agent's office said the author was unavailable because she was not feeling well.
Lessing, in the El Pais interview, had sharp words for both President Bush and his ally, former British premier Tony Blair:
"Many of us hated Tony Blair, I think he has been a disaster for Britain and we have suffered him for many years. As for Bush, he's a world calamity. Everyone is tired of this man. Either he is stupid or he is very clever, although you have to remember he is a member of a social class which has profited from wars."
[Yeah, SHE KNOWS about the NEW WORLD ORDER!!!
And, of course, the Zionist-controlled press emphasizes her 'insult," not the prescience!]
The author of dozens of works from short stories to science fiction, including the classic "The Golden Notebook," Lessing received the Nobel Prize in literature earlier this month. She was praised for her "skepticism, fire, and visionary power."
[You GO GIRL!!!!]
