Friday, December 21, 2001 9:33 AM Victim's of War I may not be understanding correctly when reading the article by &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp in the Associated Press titled 'Victim's Fund Met with Mixed Response' but if I am understanding correctly, I'm very disappointed with how we have turned out, as Americans. The first sentence says it all. "NEW YORK (AP) - The government announced an aid program that would give families of victims of the terrorist attacks an average of $1.65 million - a plan that some families say doesn't go far enough." Were the 9-11 victims not victims of war? Why do people think that they "deserve" more that what is being offered. I don't get it. Why does it always boil down to money. For God's sake, these people lost their lives and we will never see them again. What does that have to do with money. Suffering, grieving, pain, depression, all of that is a very important and normal part of loosing someone that we love. Never in a million life times will anyone be able to pay enough to make that pain go away. "What we are going to get out of it? Who is going to support me now? Who is going to take care of my kids?" These questions all sound like they are the American self centered greed. I have a suggestion, how about your families. Can't they help take care of the loved ones of their lost loved one? I'm not saying that we shouldn't help but AMERICA stepped up to the plate to help these people and we donated a lot of money. OUR MONEY to help support these people in their time of trouble and to help make their suffering a little easier. This article is a slap in the face to all those that tried to help them and it's an embarrassment to our Country. STOP BEING SO GREEDY! We all have our trails in life. Some of us don't get the media attention that the 9-11 victims got so we don't get support and help from others when we have troubles. We tough it out ourselves. Please think a little of other people before you complain about the help that you are given. Just my opinion.
