Why to you choose to ignore Bin Laden's video-taped confession, which was released by the President of the United States? Why to you choose to ignore one of the hijackers taped confessions (and the promise of more taped confessions), which was released by Al Qaida? Responsibility for Sept. 11 is pretty clear, except for those in extremely deep denial.

"We are discriminating against white people, and it has to stop," he said. But officials in city hall deny any affirmative action quotas are used in hiring. Vidrine also spoke out against the "moral crisis" facing the U.S. He said the nation must return to Christianity. "The impasse between the mayor and City Council is an impasse of spirituality and morality," Vidrine said. "They could not forgive one and another for the good of Lafayette.
