We are all very saddened by the difficult times that you now face.

A course of moderation as proposed by some thread posters is not a popular one. Sam's article about the poverty of the rural Afganistan should be enough to convince any haters of Bin Laden that attacking Afganistan would just bring more misery to that part of the world.

It has been posted that this is a greater tragedy than Pearl Harbor. But there are some major differences due to television.

When the Pearl Harbor Attack was announced the country knew that it would be a long road to recovery and victory. After this attack on New York people expect immediate
retaliation. There is little concern about where that retribution falls.

Somehow television and all this instant analysis has destroyed our sense of perspective.
