I know no one means to make light of the tragedy. I don't think it is necessary to persuade anyone. I think it is necessary for people to be able to make their personal proclamations about what they see. It doesn't have to be consensus. It has to be safe and respectful of those sincerely trying to come up with solutions. The solutions are not going to come just from Colin Powell and Mary Robinson...they are going to come from all of us... mg
