AFFIRMING WRONG It is easy us to set up strict standard by which may judge the way other people - individuals and entire nations - it is not
so easy to apply the same honest, sincere and complete standards to ourselves.
One would, usually, exclude any concept of "hatred" but to take such a survey one must cultivation an extreme and unbreakable sense of revulsion and intense dedication to threats which ring true and clear and worthy among civilized men and women of purified mind and body.
There are great shortcomings among chose whom would harm us and there are lesser ones as well. The ultimate intent of any such action is far more importance than is apparent intensity
Often the individual actions themselves which makes them all the more devious and threatening.
As I type this and keep thinking of Christmas eve plans
for tonight heir news that tells me and American plane has been ordered to return to La Guardia Field in New York because of a "threatening note" received concerning that particular flight. The same TV news cast had spoken previously saying that our F.B.I had alerted both French and British authorities concerning a plan concocted in Pakistan which calls for a Terrorist "attack" on "The Chunnel" installations connecting the U.K. and the continent. There will be additional casualties in Iraq today, mainly local citizens even as our war leaders shift positions and mull over pending plans modifying the manner go how the war is being conducted there. Some "crow" will need to be eaten, no doubt. Neighboring Iran has been told of the sanctions she must now endure now that she has refused to accept United Nation's request that she cease her nuclear enhancement programs.
We are beset by mysterious means. We must be ready to react in unconventional ways.
