Reply #27: Just as a point of comparison -- do you remember Air India Flight 182?

<snip>
3 years before Lockerby Pan Am flight 103.

snip...
On June 22, 1985, Airlines agent Jeannie Adams checks in two pieces of luggage at Vancouver International Airport that changed the course of history ... for Canada.

Hours later, the first suitcase explodes inside the baggage terminal at the Tokyo's Narita airport while it was being transferred to an Air India flight. Two baggage handlers are killed. Exactly 55 minutes later, the other bag, a dark-brown hard-sided Samsonite suitcase, explodes in mid-air in the forward cargo hold of Air India Flight 182 as it approaches the coast of Ireland.

Some passengers actually survived the 747's fall from 31,000 feet only to drown in the frigid waters of the Atlantic.

Three hundred and twenty-nine people are killed. Eighty-two of them are children. Most of the people onboard Air India Flight 182 are Canadian citizens.

Did Canada bomb India? Did Canada ask allies to bomb India?
It took Canadian decades of resolve to track down and bring to trial the perpetrators of this crime. Almost 20 years after this horrendous act... the trial still goes on.

Some persons, and perhaps some nations may criticize the logic or passion of Canadians. Count this Canadian out -- we saved lives by dealing with this despicable act in a legal and civilized manner

snip (from the original article)
The outcome doesn't matter for one Canadian who lost his family. Anant Anantaraman says he no longer cares.

"It doesn't make any difference, I swear," Anantaraman told CBC News. "I'm totally indifferent to this, whether they catch, whether they find, whether they punish. It doesn't matter to me at all. Because after all what has happened to me and what has happened to others, it cannot be reversed."

Can America bring back the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11?

I'm guessing but close 100,000 civilian lives have been taken in Afghanistan and Iraq.
