9/11 not so bad as IRA campaign says British noble author

Sept 11 not as bad as IRA campaign - says British Nobel prize winning author Doris Lessing.
Doris Lessing quoted in interview with Spain's El Pais newspaper said that the 11 September attacks had not been 'so bad' when compared to IRA action.
'September 11 was terrible, but if one re-examines the history of the IRA, what happened in the US wasn't so bad,' said Ms Lessing in an interview with Spain's El Pais newspaper.
Ms Lessing said that the 11 September attacks, in which some 3,000 people were killed, was not as terrible or as extraordinary as people think.

Ms Lessing also criticised former British prime minister Tony Blair in the interview.
Calling him a 'little showman' she said he proved disastrous for Britain.
Turning her attention to US president George W Bush, Ms Lessing said he is from a social class that has profited from wars.

She told El Pais she had recently finished a book on war.
The 87-year-old British author, who has written about feminism, politics and her childhood in Africa, won the Nobel Prize earlier this month.
