Thank you for your kind expression of condolence.
It very much appreciated by everyone, I am sure.
Many foriegn nationals, including British subjects were killed in these acts. These events have been a wake up call for all Americans who are now alert to the same threats of terrorism what others in the UK, Europe and the Middle East have lived with for years. The era of isolationism in which we thought terrorism was something which happened elsewhere is past. We must all be vigilant!
I know that Americans as a whole are extremely appreciative of the participation of UK ground, air and naval forces in support of the miliary actions now underway in Afghanistan. Our prayers are with them as well as for our own. We are in this together.
It is vital that the world community speak as with once voice that civilized countries will not tolerate terrorism in any form, by anyone. This isn't about Islam or any kind of prejudice, but in preserving our humanity.
