Quoted from another forum: the difference between the US and UK reactions to terrorism. I hope that it is only the Republicans and their benighted administration who care more about revenge than justice.

Referring to the governmental response ... I will never criticize or find fault with the residents of NYC, though. (I am NOT implying that you did).

I'm quite sure that the British people want justice, just as I am sure that the American people are split between justice and revenge...
But George BushCo wanted a OPPERTUNITY. He needed a "Pearl Harbor" to get away with his 'endless war' and invade Iraq/Iran/Syria as per the PNAC manifesto.
Don't object to people wanting revenge. Object to the ones who used a tragedy/crime to push thier agenda.
