I would just like to comment that I don't think this is an American tragedy. I think this is a tragedy for the whole world. People from many different countries were injured or killed on Tuesday. The whole world mourns the loss.

I think we need to stop focusing on nationalities, and realize that this is a tragedy for everyone, not just America. We need to think of those people and families involved with this as people, not as just members of a country.

I fear that thinking only in terms of nations will lead only to more hate, fear, and violence. Regardless of if/how the US retaliates, we must not let ourselves hate others who are different.

I take no offence to this posting, or most of the others in this thread. In direct response to this node, realize that the rest of the world is no longer kicking us around now, for they realize that we are all in this together.

Thank you,
