The American people, in so far as am aware here in Mississippi, where I am working mostly with people in their early twenties, are not angered so much as shocked and grief-stricken. I have heard no calls for revenge. The thought of what happens next is a great worry for the young people I know. For myself, I dread to think of children running around now who may be wiped out, or starved, in an act of retaliation. Further slaughter and destruction will double my grief. The American people I know are not thirsting for revenge and it is wrong to assume that they are. Would that the American people could voice their feelings and opinions now and that their wishes could inform government policy.
