Nobel Prize-winning British author claims 9/11 'was not that terrible'

Nobel Prize-winning British author Doris Lessing has called the September 11 attacks "not that terrible" compared to the campaign of terror waged by the IRA.

Lessing, 88, who won the award for literature earlier this month, said the attacks, which led to George Bush's war on terror, were not as "extraordinary" as some Americans think.

She told Spanish newspaper El Pais: "September 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," she said of the Americans.
"Do you know what people forget? That the IRA attacked with bombs against our Government.

**Oh dear another nobel prize winner with odd ideas. I am not sure where she was on 9/11 2001 when the planes flown by Islamonazi's took down the twin towers and started the so called "War on Terror"- a badly named war it should have been termed a "War on Radical Islam" but evidently not watching the tv.

Maybe she should see the footage of people making the "choice", those "naive" Americans of either burning to death in the towers or jumping to their deaths. Typical leftist asshat mentality.

Still thats the sort of stuff that past their sell by date authors and politicos come out with to grab some headlines/increase book sales and so on. Maybe she should travel to the US and speak with some of the families of those who died and explain her ideas to them on how "naive" Americans are.
