David Rice: his brother's salute to his memory

After his brother David died in the second tower, Andrew Rice was appalled by yet more civilian casualties—this time in Afghanistan.

But Rice chose not to fall in line with those who were determined to show the "other side" that they couldn't mess them about. With grieving relatives of other victims, he comforted the weeping mother of Zacharias Moussaoui.

He explains his approach to the loss of his brother: "I'm refusing to fall in line with what “they” want, which is visceral hatred between two sides; this gives me permission to reconcile."
