Thanks to Dr Matunda Nyanchama from an American. I hope that American leaders will listen to your words, both the support and condolence, as well as the good advice. As you know, there is a feeling of grief and desperation, of fear and anger and vindictiveness sweeping across the nation. If you can imagine the horror and the anger that many Americans feel. Here in the states an almost unheard of thing is occurring. People of opposing perspectives are reaching across the lines of division, bonding together, almost asif to promise each other some unspoken covenant. A resurgence of FAITH seems to have blown across the land. Our religious leaders have called on us to realize that by far most muslims and most middle eastern people find terrorism and wanton destruction to be abhorrent, unthinkable, repugnant. Yet a sad fact is that prejudice seems to be on the rise. Suspicion seems to be on the rise. In profiling terrorists, countless innocent people will come under scrutiny merely based on their appearance, or their middle eastern background. May God help us at this time of great pain and desperation. Americans of all hues and views seem to demand their government to take action, some kind of action, but what should that be? Bush and his team need wisdom as never before. Religion asks us to be merciful and circumspect, but did they treat the WTC with mercy and circumspection? NO, the whole world watched as they dealt out death and destruction, havoc and war. God help us. The blood of the innocent cries out from the ashes ....
