I heard that Arabs in NY, mostly cab drivers, are being beaten up. That's just what the Arab news agencies would love to hear. What's worse is the thought that a lot of people with redneck mentalities are going to lump all dark-skinned Asians into one group, and just start beating them indiscriminately.

Police, Fire and Military personnel have their work cut out for them for the next few days. Try to cooperate with them when you find your lives disrupted. It's not their fault. Remember, this is probably war, or pretty close to it.
