Hi Gabriel,

I can certainly understand that people are justifiably angry with the U.S.,=
=20
which both through mistakes and malicious actions, has done evil and caused=
=20
problems around the world, in addition to helping in many situations around=
=20
the world.

The true tragedy is that, though the actions of a few fanatics or lunatics,=
=20
a large number of innocent people in the U.S. have to pay for the evil acts=
=20
of a few people in power. I would join you in praying for all people who=20
died or suffered in the world today, but I think you will understand that=20
this especially came to mind since it hits home; I am still not sure that=20
all my relatives are safe, since I have many in the New York area.

Likewise, I hope that all those affected will wait for all the facts to=20
come in and will not jump to judge who may have been behind this. For=20
example, if it turns out to be Islamic terrorists, I hope that people will=
=20
not assign blame to all Muslims.

It is unconscionable that some people (i.e. in Palestine) would celebrate=20
over this. However, these people have suffered for a long time, partly due=
=20
to things the U.S. government has done. I can understand how they are=20
strongly tempted to be joyful that the U.S. has to suffer, too, but it is=20
immensely wrong to strike these innocent people, and I think that the=20
majority of reasonable Palestinian people condemn such violence, as their=20
leaders have.
