I am 100% with you. I hadn't thought that way until this incident. You are the first person to phrase it so concisely.

Thanks for the support out there!

Mel, Slackerboy, Donut...agreed. Terrorism is horrible, regardless of where it occurs. I've been holding to that "how can you possibly understand" mindset for the last two days, and sort of 'woke up' today and realized how narrow minded it was. My apologies to any and all that I have offended with such attitude. This is most defenitely a worldwide problem, and we all need to band together.

Damn...I'm getting sappy again....GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you finally got this, hon. I knew once everyone started to calm down and focus again, this feeling would blow over. I never even entertained the thought that other countries couldn't or wouldn't feel our pain. I've studied World History rather in depth. EVERY country has endured suffering, pain, indignity, loss, terror, war...But don't worry about it. We've all had our moments this week. LOL (meaning, in this case, Lots of Love) to you!!! (((hug))) We'll ALL get through this and be stronger for it.

And Neb - just knowing you (and others like you) are there is enough! (((BIG HUG))).

We also observed the three minutes - sort of. This is what happened: We'd already had five silent minutes yesterday. The teacher we had today said that it wasn't neccessary to interrupt our work again and wanted to continue ( ). Then, at 12 o'clock, everybody stopped talking and working of their own accord and sat silently for 5 minutes. The teacher was frustrated but couldn't do anything (). It shows how stupid some people can be, yet I am proud of my class for observing the silent time against the teacher's wishes. There is also a German flag hanging at half-mast (can you say that) at all public buildings. We don't have a German flag (oops) so we took another one. There is also an American flag and a black band hanging in the entrance hall of our school. Americans, you are not alone.
