I'm just so dissappointed that this never got resolved. There wasn't even a strong vibe out against anyone particular(as our "enemy") yesterday, and I have yet to see a majority of folks lamenting the deaths of our people without some sort of explanation, but instead almost an excuse, for why these terrorists may have done this.
What if your child were killed by another child? Would you automatically say, "Well, there's obviously something very wrong with that child, so I forgive him immediately"? Of course not. There would be a process to get you to that point, at the very least.
Again, the people on our minds should be those in NY and DC, not elsewhere.
There was a candlelight vigil in Woodstock last night and no one mentioned the terrorists' feelings. And everyone was praying to a different god, or meditating in a different way.

I'm not a mother. But I am a sister and a daughter and a friend. If I had someone killed in this horrendous act, I don't know if I could survive -- it would just overwhelm me. I don't personally know anyone, and this is about to overwhelm me. I don't know that I can forgive those who are behind this. Hell, I can't forgive a couple of people in my life who have caused me some pain many years ago.
But I personally -- and I don't expect this from anyone else, would love to see it, but don't expect it -- I can't seek revenge -- I can't go for the eye for an eye. I just don't see that as the solution. Then it becomes another eye for an eye and so on and so on and so on.
I'm terribly grieved. I'm terribly shocked.
Your put it well -- we need to mourn before we worry about actions.

> thanks to your calming influence of yesterday. :)
Mayor Giuliani suggested that we go about our day as usual as a sort of "defiance." I think it's a good idea.
