Nobel laureate Doris Lessing said the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States were “not that terrible” when compared to attacks by the IRA in Britain.
“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,” she said in an interview published Sunday.
We were attacked, but hey, it wasn’t all that bad! Three thousand people were killed by an attack on our country. We are a very naive people for being a little upset about that? She thinks we over reacted?
Well, yeah, I think she’s crazy.
