Now this is what I've been talking about all the time! <hr></blockquote>
Juize, I haven't seen you talk about this anywhere in all of this discussion the last two days. Truly there are some here, and throughout the US at the moment, who are hurt and angry enough to fit your view of Americans, but please look past your prejudices and sterotypes and see that we are not all like that. I mourn the horrific loss of life in NY more keenly because it was a cowardly act deliberately aimed at innocents, but I have likewise mourned the horrific loss of life via causes natural (earthquakes, hurricanes) and human (civil war, attempted genocide) in places outside the US, including Afganhistan, Palestine, portions of Africa, etc. I have no desire to see innocents suffer or be killed, whether they be Americans or Afghans. While I would hope for peaceful resolutions to conflicts, and for mutual understanding to take the place of hatred, I sadly realize this is likely not possible with such fanatics. Justice must be served, but justice does not involve killing other innocents in the process.
