The following editorial was written by a Canadian journalist. Its contents
really touched me, but given its content, I realize listers here represent
several foreign countries. While I feel this piece is worth reading, let it
be known I am not ignorant that NATO, the European Community, and several
nations are offering support to the US following this great tragedy. What I
hope this shows is that, strong as we are, your help and support will prove
these terrorists to have no backing, no praise, no support.

Good AM. I'm sending this out to you to hopefully brighten your patriotic
spirit and let you know that there are other people in the world who have
recognized the US as a positive force in the world. It would be great if
this message could get to the Palastini's who were shown on TV celebrating
the destruction in the US. I hope this does not offend anyone. I just
thought it was worth sharing.
