We shall survive this; I do not forget that the continent of Europe has seen more devastation in the last hundred years than the United States will ever know. We are not yet sure who did this--Muslim militants, domestic terrorists, Serbian nationalists, Israeli hawks--but we will survive. The goal of terrorism is to create hatred and fear. We win by continuing to live our lives. The best way to defeat those without honor is to acknowledge these sentiments of condolence, and move on to continue doing what we do. If we obsess with what happened, then they have taken over this list as well.

Hawaii is 6 hours earlier than NY, so the midday sunlight is glinting off crystals and mica, revealing an iridescence here, a metallic glint there. It is good therapy. I'm beginning to stop trembling. The TV has been on, which has been frightening, of course. Every now and then I've taken a look at email. Chris's from Austria brought tears of gratitude to my eyes for the kindness from so far away. However the expressions of vengeance and blind hatred, some of it cultural and racial, is almost more frightening than the thought of war, which is now a very real possibility. I'm going back to my beautiful rocks, and I suggest that tomorrow we all go out and do something truly positive, like donating blood.

However, that being said, I would like to ask the list at large to do one thing. Please, let's avoid a flame war by keeping the racially and ethnically charged postings off the list. Let's not make blanket statements that we may someday resent. I understand that many people may have strong feelings regarding the politics surrounding this whole mess. However, Rockhounds is not the place for a political flame war. I work with an ultra-orthodox Jew, a young man from Palestine, and have a few Muslim friends. All are shocked and outraged at what happened today. Let's use the list to focus on remembering those who have died, and offering any assistance we can to those still struggling to clean up the mess, rather than focusing our emotions on people thousands of miles away who, in reality, have very little to do with our daily life.

I=20 work with many Muslims, Islamics, Christians, etc.  You name the=20 religion/culture, I work (or have worked) with them in the global = company that=20 I work for.  They are good people and were horrified by the = events from=20 today, just as anybody else in our office was.  One of the = sweetest women=20 in our office is from Afghanistan.  We told her today to not = speak=20 anything but English (she speaks it very well since she has been in = the US for=20 6 or 7 years) for awhile because there are people like Jackie out = there who=20 may do harm to her.  Also, the videos of the Palestinians = rejoicing in=20 the streets didn't tell us anything.  They showed us only a bunch = of=20 happy kids and a few adults.  Those kids might not even realize = what=20 happened since the videos were taken very early in the developing = chaos. =20 Only a couple adults who I saw in the video were ecstatic; the rest = were "just=20 there".  Maybe there are other videos that I haven't seen yet, = but the=20 ones I saw didn't show that ALL Palestinians are heartless.  And = the=20 videos didn't show anything related to Middle East people in=20 America.
 
I know this doesn't = belong on the=20 list, but I just want to let everyone know that the people who are = here in=20 America, whether they are Muslim, Christian or whatever, are = mostly good=20 people.
