Agreed. Among other things, I'm a professional announcer and ironically, I
was scheduled to do a recording that's destined to be played in Iran. One of
the gents at the session was Iranian and appeared very self-conscious and
uncomfortable. I made certain to smile and shake his hand. He looked
relieved. I feel badly when any group of people is put under scrutiny simply
because of their religion or the color of their skin. Even today. Especially
today.
For any Triumph owners wishing to vent, express their shock, condolences,
fears or frustrations, The Totally Triumph Network will be hosting a special
off-topic forum for this very purpose until futher notice.

Subject: Re: Off Topic - War
This goes beyond the borders of the US. All civilised nations are
affected by irrational acts of terrorism. We must internationally join
forces and speak in one voice against atrocities against humanity -
regardless of whether they occur in the Sudan, Kuwait, the United States
- any peace-loving country in the world. We should also remember that
the actions of a few extremists do not necessarily represent the views
of the majority of any one people group.
