Evans" <crankycricker@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: Fwd: Letter 1]] Maria, Well--I'm actually flying a flag that I swore that would never meet the air until the old Sanitorium was Not public housing. BUT--I broke down. I'm flying the flag that was flown over the Missouri State Capital in honor of the group, "Save the San". Since this group no longer exists I thought that the, past, members would want this flag to be flying at this time. I feel some guilt but have much more pride. I feel so sorry for the people of Afganhastan. The surrounding countries have closed their borders and they have no place to flee. So many innocent people will die if/when we move miltary forces into their country to find Osama Bin Ladin. It's, also, sad that these desciples of Allah have decided that the United States is wanting Osama Bin Ladin to start the beginning of a Holy War. This matter doesn't concern God, Allah, Muhammand, Jehova or any other religious diety! Pray for understanding and pray that if our country has to fight this war it will short. Donna Maria L.

Evans" <crankycricker@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: Fwd: Letter 1]] Date: Sat, Sep 15, 2001, 3:44 PM Hey 'Marvin', I just wanted to let you know that I have contacted my email friends in Canada, the UK, Africa and Australia. I have told them about the sorrow that the people of United States are feeling and I've told them about our anger and resolve to bring these cowards to justice. I've told them that the citizens of the United States do not wish to harm innocent people of any country. I've told them that our people are peaceful and that it is only because of this attack that we are bearing arms and beginning to fight against an attack that was started by others. I hope you are displaying your flag--our government has asked to keep our flags flying for 30 days. Our Nation has proven that 'divide we fall--United WE Stand'. We are standing United on this day and every day until this 'battle' is won. Donna "Maria L. Evans" wrote: Good letter. I'll tell you what is really bothering me right now. Don't get me wrong, respect for all these victims is important, but our rush to cancel everything (such as sports events), to me, is acquiescing to terrorism. TERRORISTS LOVE IT WHEN WE CHANGE AMERICA'S ORDINARY DAY TO DAY LIFE ON ACCOUNT OF THEM. I strongly feel that we should not be adopting a victim mentality on account of these whackos. People are forgetting that, despite the worst attack on U.S. soil, our nation's communications infrastructure was BARELY SCRATCHED. People were using cell phones a block away from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Most of us were using the phone, cell phone, the TV, and the internet while this was going on. I was on an internet bulletin board where a man who worked 4 blocks from the Trade Center was telling us what was happening ahead of CNN! A friend of mine was able to communicate with her cousin deployed on the USS Kennedy within 2 hours of the attack! THIS IS NOT THE MARK OF A REAL "BLOW" TO OUR COUNTRY. Look at the passengers who crashed in Pa. They were most likely fighting the terrorists, avoiding another tragic plane crash. That's the kind of stuff we are all made of in this country. We are not talking this up, we are playing "victim" and that upsets me. Even in Kirksville, MO, I was angry that "sheeple" were panicking over gas, and making a run on BOTTLED WATER, for crissakes! I just wanted to stand in the middle of Hy-Vee and yell "Get hold of yourselves, what the hell are you all doing!!!!" At the same time, I hope we all fight the evil that will almost certainly pop up in own own hometowns, the evil of blind hatred aimed at people who didn't have anything to do with it. Already, in Columbia, the local mosque got a bomb threat. I remember in 1979 during the hostage crisis, Iranian students (who came to the U.S. on the Shah's money, who had nothing to do with Khomeni, who even could have been killed should they return to Iran) got beat up in parking lots at NE Mo. State. We have to be careful not to fall prey to that kind of misguided hate, to save our anger for the correct target and use all our energies to go after the correct groups responsible. Let the true bad guys feel our wrath, not someone who isn't even involved. Just my thoughts. I am like everyone else, I am still going through every emotion in the book, and sorting out my feelings and my logic about this like everyone else. But I do know our anger needs to be a cool, calculated one, not a hot, half-cocked one. These bastards took a LOT OF TIME to plan this attack, it will take just as careful planning on our end to flatten 'em. -- Maria L.
