the above message (as well as several others of similar vein - and those of retaliatory violence - ) has already been delivered to Calif's senators and congressmen, as well as to the State Department.   
 I didn't expect it to be received with bated breath 
  the best we as citizens can hope for - and I think we will get --- is that our Leaders will be restrained and prudent in their response, and will take the best interests of the nation and its people into consideration.  But there will be a response.  The terrorists confused the supposed weakness in past american political affairs as to be equated to the spirit of America - and its people.   That was a big strategic mistake.  
 The terrorist leaders did not know the american spirit before --- but they will get an introduction to it now.   
 And our president will do his best to respond in a manner reflecting the ideals this country was founded on....That's why he gets paid the big Bucks
