Betreff: Tragedy

Thank you, Arno, for putting my 11-09-01 cartoon on the web.
On Wednesdaymorning I woke up with tears in my eyes. Now I cannot sleep, it is Fridaynight. Thoughts keep on running through my head about this
week's tragedy.
Each time it moves me when I see or hear about the grief, the courage or the unity of the people. I do have great respect for the passengers of the Pennsylvania-plane, who tried to fight
back, and were not willing to be mere victims. That's what I hope I will do as well in a similar situation. Sometimes we have to accept things as they are. Sometimes we can do something about it.
I feel
this week has changed the world, it certainly has changed me. Maybe the pain is the saying goodbye to an era. An era that was not perfect, but I liked it. Now I am worried.
