Yeah, it's really hard to talk about this when the wounds are still open and bleeding.
I do see what you're saying. I can only give you my personal view, which is that the terrorists were
not justified to take the actions they did. I am steadfast and uncompromising in that view.
With regard to preventing this kind of atrocity from ever occurring again, it is my respectful opinion that we must carefully examine the causes of it, as well as searching for the immediate perpetrators. Indeed, justice demands that those responsible for the act pay for their crimes and I believe that very strongly.
Additional to this, we must have the sense to delve deeper, to combat the original problems that led to yesterday's tragic events. That is my view at least and I hope, the spirit behind these remarks.
