Moving Forward

After the suicide attacks yesterday, there have been a variety of responses. These responses vary widely, encompassing shock, numbness, fury, despair, fear, sympathy for the victims, and the earnest desire to prevent something of this scale ever happening again.

To that end, the US government, through the president and other representatives, has made clear that it is committed to increasing security and determining responsibility. This is the right response. But as a nation, we need to avoid two pitfalls which yawn directly in front of us as we plot our course of action.

The first is to avoid condemning anyone before evidence is compiled and responsibility is established. The need for closure and understanding is strong. We want to know who did this. Every moment that passes without the truth being uncovered feels an eternity. However, the media and government have already begun to focus on the Middle East. This need not be a forgone conclusion. Okalahoma City should remind us that not all acts of terror are committed by people from the Middle East.

This can and seems already to be leading towards an anti-Muslim and anti-Arab feeling in the US. This is not appropriate and must not be allowed to develop.

Not only could it obfuscate the investigation for the perpetrators of the attacks, but also, it is patently immoral to condemn a religion or an ethnicity for the acts of some extreme members.

Therefore, reducing extra pounds and bringing waistline back to the buy levitra online first point which I was talking about… Along these lines, it is irresponsible and embarrassing for our media or government to be pulled into or actively participate in any such activities.

Beyond taking care in finding the responsible parties, we in the United States and all peace loving denizens of the world must take the lead in seeking to achieve peace. The first reaction of anger is understandable. However, to let our reaction be one of violent reprisal will escalate the conflict. Do we need to see how much worse it could be?

For that reason, we must focus on peacefulness. This has already begun, and it is a difficult path to chart – one’s natural reaction so often is to strike back. But the many centers already set up for prayer or mediation on making the situation better are a good start. Please join the thousands of others who are already focusing on positive methods for moving forward. Pray, meditate, talk, and listen for those who need to express their grief, anger or confusion. As we begin to heal ourselves, we can start to reach out with a more peaceful mind towards those with this unfathomable anger towards the United States or its government. Let’s try to avoid a destructive spiral of reprisals and escalatory retaliation.

Be well.
