Friday, March 29, 2002 6:59 AM Have we learned nothing? I am truly embarassed to consider myself an American when I was informed of the DOJ's ruling on the 9/11 Compensation Fund to exclude gays/lesbians/transgendered individuals. Even worse, the fund SUPPORTS ILLEGAL aliens. It is hypocrisy and a direct assalt on the very core of the Declaration of Independence and our American committment to true JUSTICE that families of loving, legally employed individuals would be excluded and that illegal residents be included. Were the Afghanistan government to do the same to some of the many minority tribes there would the US Government not be outraged? Are we not protecting the Kurds in Iraq from a similar fate with a no-fly zone? Have we not worked diligently to try to bring together Catholic and Protestant factions in Northern Ireland to avoid factionalization and violence? Aren't we attempting to reduce the conflict between Indian Hindus and Pakistani Muslims? Wasn't any lesson learned from the genocide in the former Yugoslavia republic? Doesn't this action just support the same strife in our own country? Truly, if this decision was based on fear of law suits, then the DOJ is becoming an instrument of evil by dismissing the protection of ALL American citizens to meet the desires of the majority in power. I guess the next logical step would be requiring individuals to register as a minority so you can REALLY know who you are dealing with. Well, here's an idea for you....Why don't you just decide to make all gays/lesbians/transgendered people wear pink triangles on their clothing? While you're are at it, let's make Jews wear yellow Stars of David... Sound familiar. I am ashamed that it does, only to clearly, to me.
