Before the moderators kill this thread, I'd just like to clear up a
possible misunderstanding - this article was not written in response
to Tuesday's tragedy. It's the transcript of a radio program broadcast
June 5, 1973. Gordon Sinclair, who wrote it, has been dead for many
years now - I can't access his biography right now (probably too much
traffic), but I would have said he died in the late 70's or very early
80's. That's not to say he wouldn't say the same thing now if he were
alive, but the context was his anger at international
"America-bashing" following the pull-out from Vietnam. Nor is it to
say that most, if not all, Canadians don't feel deep sympathy and
concern for the victims of this terrible act - we do.
His biography can be found at:

and the story of the article (and a recording of the broadcast) at:
http://www.rcc.ryerson.ca/schools/rta/ccf/news/unique/american.html
(if you can get through).
