I certainly hope that never happens, and am encouraged to have heard nothing
of the sort from any of our countries leaders since yesterdays events. We're
certainly no good guys, but you can't deny that we (or at least us little
people) think we're trying really hard. We are often mislead by those in
power to do things that we know are wrong, but that we are told are right.

As I said, we are often mislead, and that is sincerely what I hope anyone's
excuse is who celebrates death and destruction.
