Doris Lessing, winner of Nobel Prize, Belittles 9/11

Doris Lessing, who won the Nobel prize for literature this year, and whose novel "The Golden Notebook" is arguably one of the first example of feminist literature, claims 9/11 is not so bad.

 

She acknowledges that it was terrible, but thinks American have a short memory, and that the IRA attacks were worse.

Is this an example of European superiority ovee Americans?

Is someone going to demand she give the reward back?

Why do this year's winners have to be so stupid...

People intelligent as they be like to wage wars of ego, they want to be the best and the ones who suffered the most. The sad story in all of this is that both winners are very good in their field – but for some reason we tend to listen to there views on unrelated subjects. Could Newton criticize Shakespeare or could it be the other way around? Let just say that both bright winners should stick to what they know and stop living in the times they were born.
