I sat on Tuesday 11th glued to my TV set in Johannesburg watching the events unfold in NY. It felt like I was in NY and I cried tears for all of us worldwide. This was not a blow only against the US. 50 nations lost children that day including 6 from South Africa. Worldwide we are numb. This has got to be the start of the end of terrorism. We must NOT tolerate this method of achieving ends any longer. My country as you all know was rent apart by an internal war. We thought of them as terrorists. Possibly we were the terrorists. To this day I don"t know who was right or wrong. All I know was that we achieved a miracle in South Africa by negotiating a settlement with each other.Let the whole world sit up and note how we solved our problem. Talk talk and more talk. It only took 9 months after 35 years of "terrorism".

ZULU, you are right about seeking a mutually agreeable solution to the "Main" issues. However, i believe that we should do this while hunting down and punishing the murderers of my innocent fellow Americans!They need to pay for their crimes! You can bet that if i shot my neighbor I would FRY!

Zulu,
I want to personally thank you for your tears. It makes all of us here in the US feel better to know that we are not alone in this and that our global brothers and sisters grieve with us. Your words are like salve on a wound. We commend your nation on it's peace efforts, and I will pray that our nation and others will follow your example and let them know that it IS possible.
Debbie
