<P>I respect you as a Shakuhachi artist and admire your compassion for all human life, but you are "out of line." Your timing is terrible, and this is not the forum for such comments.</P>
<P>To whom it may concern: please take my name off this list. Thank you</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Although these attacks are obviously horrible, those of us that are
<DIV></DIV>>americans must realise that the barbaric foreign policies of our
<DIV></DIV>>country have been instilling this kind of terror on numerous
<DIV></DIV>>countries for decades. If we do not demand our own government to
<DIV></DIV>>change the way it treats people outside of our borders (and inside!)
<DIV></DIV>>then unfortunately we are going to be victims of these kinds of
<DIV></DIV>>attacks over and over again.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>My heart goes out to all the victims of these attacks. My heart also
<DIV></DIV>>goes out to all the victims of the American bombing of Iraq which
<DIV></DIV>>still goes on even though the so called gulf war ended a long time
<DIV></DIV>>ago.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>All human life matters! Not just american lives.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>What frightens me more than these attacks is the propoganda i keep
<DIV></DIV>>hearing on the news saying we must go to war and get revenge. And an
<DIV></DIV>>incredible amount of anti arab and anti islamic propoganda is in
<DIV></DIV>>serious abundance on the streets of sanfrancisco today.

<DIV></DIV>>I grew up in new york city and watched the twin towers being built.
<DIV></DIV>>I
<DIV></DIV>>never imagined the skyline without them since they were built.
