Roger, To a man who I believe knows a lot about temperance, > Make no mistake there while there is great support >Internationally for America over this horrendous disaster. There is also a >great deal of pressure to exercise temperance. Everyone needs temperance. If only we human beings could look where our similiarities lie and see the beauty in our differences. This has, to a large extent, been the case in the US, just look at the photos of the Americans who were killed in the WTC. Do they not include many, many ethnic backgrounds? > >This is not AMERICA'S NEW WAR as you your press likes to brag and >glorify, >but a global problem. Travel out side your own country, and you will see >an >entirely different perspective. To many, if not most of us living in the US, it _IS_ new. It has not been in our consciousness as a nation to live in fear that our flight is likely to be hijacked, or that we could be killed in our offices on Tuesday morning. We have felt relatively safe, as long as we have avoided going down dark, unlit streets at night in bad areas of big cities. It may not have been realistic, as you point out, but that is they way it has been in our country--until last week. (I might mention that I have also felt reasonably safe the many times I have visited in cities throughout Canada.) Hope you are well-------------and safe!
