dear john,
it is not about not taking consequences - lets face it: we dont need more
killings after what happened already. terrorism is evil, but just think - do
we really really want an international escalation of this violence? i think
not. bush will not get my blessing for an act of revenge. lets hope that
this terrible deed will not result in an international bigger-scale
conflict.
i am terified to hear powell on CNN, when he declares that not only the
terrorists but also the ones who hosted them will be severely punished. this
may result in a world conflict.

dear sushi,
it is definately NOT a matter of making *statements* here, as you write.
terrorism is not to be tolerated, but you just cant respond with similar
measures - look at israel/palestines, even if thay say its a matter of
survival, i guess there are "more people dying than surviving". violence
cant be the long term solution.
