I would like to thank Mistral for her thoughtful post. I hope that our respective governments are able to think as clearly before they react to Tuesday's events, but their initial rhetoric has dismayed me. The attacks may have been an assault on freedom and democracy from our viewpoint, but if Messrs Bush and Blair honestly believe that this was the motivation in the minds of the terrorists who sacrificed their own lives, as well as the thousands of others they stole, then I don't see how we're going to get out of here without a lot more bloodshed.
My heartfelt sympathies to all those who have been, and may yet be, affected.
