Destruction of the New York Twin Towers

[Heiko Wundram]

Hello to all fellow list members!

As I have not heard a single word about it on the list so far, I thought that 
I might as well take the initiative and express my grievance at seeing the 
pictures that were broadcast for all day today (and yesterday too) about the 
suicide bombings (or whatever you might call it) of the two twin towers in 
New York and also the Pentagon in Washington.

Let us all mourn the great loss of lives (only comparable to a natural 
catastrophe) that occured in just one hour due to such a cowardly act of 
terrorism against civilians. Let us hope that all those innocent people who 
died during these acts of crime are now in a better place.

And let us think greatfully of all rescue workers, the medical staff of the 
hospitals and all those individuals who came out to help or donate blood in 
New York and Washington, and of course of all those who endangered or lost 
their lives trying to help the people who were caught up in the debris of the 
buildings.

On a last note to myself, although the need for revenge that many Americans 
feel at the moment is justifiedly huge, I sincerely hope that this act of war 
of an as yet unknown agressor against America will not lead to a scenario 
that was discussed in a late night show yesterday evening on German TV:

"World War 3".

Yours sincerely,
