Fw:WRL on Attacks

[John Lundy]

Settle down boys,

I agree its crass to discuss American foreign policy shortcomings and the 
impurity of some of its geopolitical machinations right at this point, but 
those raising these issues are not, from what I read, in any way attempting 
to downplay the scale of this tragedy.  I saw a passenger list last night 
for one of the planes.  Among the dead were a mum, dad and their two year 
old baby.  Just seeing those names on the screen, rolling like credits at 
the end of a movie, moved me beyond belief.

I understand how Jasper and Dave and the other Americans on the list feel. 

Those who wish to discuss the wider implications and motives of the attack 
should show a little sensitivity.
