New York: Whoever's responsible should pay |
2001-09-14 |
Joyce Miller, a wizened New Yorker with greying hair, growled about US President George W. Bush's Friday tour of the crumbled twin towers and efforts to recover any survivors from the wreckage. "I have no interest in seeing George Bush," Miller said and panned the president's promise of a military payback for two hijacked jets slamming into the World Trade Center. "The worst is that he's talking vengeance and retaliation," she fumed. Nonetheless, some mourners, who lifted candles and wore the New York bohemian chic of leather and denim jackets, offered a wish flying in the face of dovish sentiments. "We wrote 'retribution' on our car window in red lipstick in big letters," said Aimee Szparaga, a 27-year-old magazine editor, standing beside her artist boyfriend from Brooklyn. "Whoever's responsible should pay for this. It's an atrocity." (AFP) |
