What follows is in NO WAY meant to minimize the terrible loss of
life America has experienced or to justify the horrific acts.

However, America itself has been involved in activities that
fit your interpretative framework. Some of the "political and social
infrastructure" was irresponsibly nutured by the American government
itself over the last 30's. However, it has yet to present the whole
story to the American people.

I hope the American people will fight the war on two fronts.
I hope they will initiate an "internal" search for the
causes of terrorism that is as serious as the "external"
search now underway.
