Did the people of Mexico cheer the 9 -11 attacks ?
Answer:
Why Some Mexicans Have Mixed Emotions About 9-11
MEDIA COVERAGE STRESSES IDEALOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Chilangos, as Mexico City residents are called, followed the malignant events of Black Tuesday step-by-step as the two main TV networks transmitted CNN saturation coverage with Mexican anchor men and women providing local color.
Some of the commentators, such as Televisa's Joaquín López Dóriga, unsuccessfully sought to conceal their mirth as the twin towers crumpled to earth. "The symbol of world economic power is no more," Dóriga yapped excitedly as re-runs showed the destruction on a seemingly endless tape loop.
Later, the star newscaster would boast that prior to this terrorist version of Pearl Harbor, only Mexico had ever had the audacity to attack the United States on its own turf, remembering how Pancho Villa invaded Columbus, NM, for a few hours during the Mexican Revolution.
The devastation depicted on the TV screens looked remarkably like the destruction wrought by the 1985 killer 7.8 earthquake here in Mexico City, which buried unknown thousands of people beneath the rubble of ill-constructed buildings, prompting the capital media to loudly lament the loss of life.
But in this case, not only the middle-of-the-road television broadcasts but also the left-leaning media expressed veiled satisfaction over the synchronized assault on the symbols in New York and Washington.
La Jornada, the national left-center daily, editorialized that, while it could not endorse the slaughter the paper well understood its root causes--multiple U.S. crimes against the world.
The influential publication devoted pages to the 1993 Oklahoma City federal-building bombing, which killed 163 and is attributed to right-wing militia operative Timothy McVeigh and his associates, in an effort to raise the possibility that the U.S. had actually bombed itself.
Columnists cited the U.S. role in the 1898 blow-up of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, the 1964 "incident" in the Gulf of Tonkin that served as pretext for the first bombings of the Vietnam war, and the Nazi-set fire in the German Reichstag of 1935 as circumstantial evidence of U.S. complicity in the events of Black Tuesday.
No but I think Cheney and Rumsfled did...they were yelling oh boy now we can invade Iraq.
NO..
no
I doubt that to say the least, especially since some people from Mexico and Guatemala who worked in the Windows on the World Restaurant died in the attacks.
FYI yars232c, contrary to that report you posted, the USS Maine explosion was an accident, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a FACT!
No, I'm sure they did not. It is not the people of Mexico who are bad.. it is their government.
no, only the people overseas who planned it did.
I doubt it. Why would the people of Mexico cheer? That does not make any sense.
a lot of our pepole died in 9-11. We will always condemn this act. But, after all; latin america has almost always been the eyewitness in the world's wars.
nope, it was a tragedy so why would we cheer?
are u that stupid u must be some idiot who would want to see many people die like that get you priorities straight
Boy you permanently got up on the wrong side of the bed, either that or you are just one sorry individual.
