Just as these students should not celebrate our loss, we should not celebrate others'. I have seen too many photos of people in the US of A cheering our bombing runs on Bhagdad, etc. I DO hope those students realised that had they even spoken similarly in their own countries, not only would the police NOT have protected them, but they would have helped kill them on the spot. Perhaps this realisation may plant a seed of thought in a few minds that may change their attitudes which can change more attitudes and so on.

On a slightly different note, I heard reports on our Public Radio station that a Muslim group in Burlington had received threats. These people are refugees from Bosnia and totally grateful to have a relatively safe place to live in this country. We must guard against this. It is analogous to saying all Catholics are bad because of the Provisional IRA, or all Proestants are bad because of the Ulster Unionists...

We must not attack innocents. We have to break the cycle. We HAVE to try or the world will truly belong to the cockroaches.
