My heart goes out to the people of New York, Washington, anyone and everyone
touched by this tragedy. I can't believe we live in a world that something
like this can happen...and I am afraid...afraid of what the US government
response will be in retaliation for such a horrible horrible attack. I'm
afraid at how the enemy will be painted...I just hope that people can act
with reason and compassion, even in the face as something as despicable as
this...
Respect to you all.
