This is the last message I plan to post on this tragic subject, so I'm gonna
try to make it count...
I must agree with Aaron, Shel, and the others. Racist bloodthirsty rants
are NOT acceptable here. I've had no choice but to block "Shoot 'er, man!"
from my e-mail box until this whole thing dies down, or maybe for good. His
comments cut across me deeply, and hurt like hell. The Afghan people are
already ravaged by war, and most oppose the Taliban government that is
apparently housing bin Laden. Do you honestly believe that going to war
against the common people of Afghanistan is going to be an effective answer?
Maybe you do, but I don't. Like everyone else, I was enraged and shocked at
the events of Tuesday. But inflammatory comments only hurt, they cannot
help the victims, their families or their loved ones. Such energy might be
better used by giving blood, raising money for the victims and their
families, etc.
I realize there's going to be disagreement on these matters. It's expected
and understandable. But some people want to take things to extremes without
considering the consequences...much like the terrorists did. They died in
vain. Hopefully no one else will.
