> thing. You're creating more dissention by doing that. The horrific situation between Ireland and Britain has different dynamics. It's not the same thing.
KK,
We don't know yet just what the politcan dynamics are here. And I certainly don't understand Britain and Ireland. In any event there are two things going on now. There is the attack on the US by someone (lets just leave it at that) that we are calling the start of a war. And then there is the first major terrorism attack on "American Soil". Right now, for me, that is the bigger shock. It is something that residents of London and Belfast, Beirut and Jerusalem and far too many other places have lived with for a long time. Until Tuesday it was something I couldn't comprehend at all. Now I think I am beginning to. I suspect Nikki knows better than we do right now just what we are feeling these days.To Nikki,
Thank you for your thoughts.Jane
