Not only thousands of dead....

Besides at least 34.000 civilians killed in Iraq - alone in 2006 !!! , UN secr.gen Ban Ko Moon points out to the dramatic fact that every eighth Iraqi was chased from the crisis hit country since the friendly visit there by American liberators. Some 1.9 Million people ran away from there villages to neighbouring countries and need urgent help!

Luxembourg gouvernment supports the UN refugee works with 550.000 € - and Jean Asselborn and Luc Frieden are ashamed and keep suffering from having to be diplomats ( hypocrats) when they show up at every little cocktail reception at the concrete fortress in boulevard Servais.... They are extremely successsfull at showing their wide smiles on every photograph with Mme Wagner, the US Ambassador. The - seemingly - perfect supporters of that atrocious US President.

Virginia Tech, weapons and all.

I've gone back to my Luxembourg based blog after quite a while as I believe I should activate it with stuff that is worth writing down in my perspective.

The event of today is still focused mainly on the Virginia Tech shooting of 32 helpless people and on the obvious question of arms availability.

American commentators will of course never learn and move away from there arms industry point of view. The worst comments I read today are: if everyone of the 32 people who got killed, had been allowed to bring a weapon into the school, the disaster would have been far less dramatic...

By the way: The Bushman found the Virginia Tech event "horrendous". He probably gave up looking at news reports - or at least at casualty figures from Iraq, Afghanistan and other places where he is responsable for just as "horrendous" events every few days.
