Thank you Martin. There has been an outpouring of sympathy for the U.S. by those from other countries at this site and I have to say that is has been incredibly inspiring. Kind of makes me wonder if governments were run by common folks like most of us if things wouldn't be very different. It amazes me how such different mentalies can exist in the human being...those who see nothing wrong with killing and those like most of us who believe in the sanctity of life. I cannot understand those who kill because it does not exist in me and I am just so totally devastated by all of this. I feel for anyone from any country who has to deal with things like this. Its a shame for the world that all of us cannot let each other just live in peace. May God help us. Laurie
