First off, I wish to clarify that Palistinians live in camps in Israel, not in Afganistan. Secondly, I have been terribly disturbed by so many people's comments around the world today concerning muslims, arabs, and palistinians. Before people go making rash and ignorant statements based on the anger they are feeling at the moment, they should at least attempt to understand the motivation for the celebration those people are partaking in. Right or wrong, many of them view the US as playing a chief component in they're very miserable and persecuted lives. In many ways I'm am just as saddened for those who lost people today as I am for those of Middle Eastern decent who will now be given accusatory stares, who will now feel uncomfortable when entering an airport. In many ways a comparison can be drawn between what will most likely happen if events escalate and what happened to Asian Americans during WW2. I just hope people open their minds and don't let emotion fuel there thoughts. The same is true for m hopes in how the US will officially react to this. The last time we struck back at Bin Laden, we bombed an innnocent sudanese pharmacutical plant. May our retaliation be more thought out and accurate this time, I truely hope that no more innocent people will have to die, but I highly doubt that, especially after our President's comment that countries who harbor these terrorists will feel our wrath as well. Anyhow, take care of yourselves and I am truely saddened and sorry for those who have lost someone today
