We might not have *Facts*, but we have a good idea where todays attack
came from. This in no way justifies attacking people who happen to be of
the same nationality. That is the beginning of predjudice and we should
know where that leads.

I think we have every right to make a logical progression based on the
facts. If we try to obscure the truth, it may encourage people to find
scapegoats and some may be in in our own multi-cultured society.
However, if the people who did this are of a particular ethnic origin,
it does not mean that all people from that same ethnic origin are
responsible or even like what happened any more than Americans do.

I gotta give Jennifer an amen on that one! Name calling and cursing make
me realize that someone has abandoned reason and is blasting pure
emotion, straight from the hip. At that point, communiucation is
impossible.
