That is wonderful. I was just having a similar discussion with Mr. X. If you are not your brother's keeper, than you have no influence over who your brother will become. Some of our brothers are the innocent victims in this, and some are the attackers. We failed to secure the safety of our fellow humans who were innocent victims in this, and we failed to give an adequate life to the people who chose to kill themselves, and take others with them. I hope we all choose love. I refuse to choose hate..

That is beautifully said, Kevin. Your point, and X's, about maintaining our humanity at a time like this, are very important. A hand squeeze from me to you.

From your post: It may sound fuzzy or soft to some, but I assure you with the whole of my existence and life experience that there is power beyond all other responses in the choice to fight fire not with fire, but with hearts and souls united in the greater, life-supporting mission that unparallelled Love can bring to the fore.? No, you do not sound fuzzy or soft to me. You seem as kind human and for that I respect you. However, while I agree to deal in the same fashion with those who are like you, I refuse to be an idle target to those who as you mentioned are evil and execute these acts. I do not know at this point what I can do, as I said earlier I feel helpless, I also feel frustrated and angry, but NOT AFRAID, and I do not feel terror. All I can feel certain of is that I need to prepare myself to defend myslef and those around me. The world has changed in my eyes. I do not believe the US will sit idle at this. I will also give full support, to the armed forces to go hunt these bastards. Believe me I understand your feelings, I even share many of those feelings. But not all.
