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
