I find it incredible that you can even allude to the fact that "the enemy is
us".  For some reason I presume that people involved with this listserve are
committed to the nonviolent resolution of conflict; that we have some
commitment to democratic ideals; and that we would condemn the kind of
violence and destruction that was committed today.

Please join us in urging all citizens of the US to pull together in a stable
and constructive response to the grievous attacks that occurred this
morning.  Disasters like this give us an opportunity to avoid panic and to
provide each other and the families of the victims, with our condolences and
assistance.
The enemy, however, is not only the terrorists, but includes ourselves.  We
must not over-react and keep an even keel -- not run on the banks, not to
panic.  That is what the terrorists want us to do.  Instead, we should use
our communication to do just that -- communicate.  That includes us as
citizens and also our leaders.  We badly need our leaders to lead �s in
improving our international relationships and to focus on making the whole
world more safe and democratic place.
KEEP in TOUCH!
