Overreaction.... - Phentermine.com

I understand the feelings and the tendency to overreact. Please do not get caught up. Do not immediately assume that your neighbor, who is from the middle east, is part of this terror, do not judge someone because of their heritage. Do not harbor hate and bitterness. Do not let them put fear in your heart. It is not a doubt we are going to war. I agree it is needed. We cannot tolerate such terrorism. Just keep in mind if we do not pull together we are pulling apart. My heart aches over the whole thing. Keep everyone involved in your prayers. Everyone from the families that lost someone, rescue workers, airline personel, travel agents, corporations that have lost employees, the news media that is covering this so we are kept up to date, our government, the dogs that are helping locate not only those that perished but those trapped and alive, medical personel, and many others. This type of thing affects many levels that not all realize. Please put your emotions into support and concern for those involved in the aftermath and not into those that caused this disaster. It appears their aim was to harm the US and cause chaos, let them see it make us stronger and pull together and not divide us. Let them see the love the US harbors for our fellow man. Let them see America stand proud, hold our heads up high and show them we are the greatest country in the world, even when faced with such sadness.

I know we shouldnt over react, but it's very easy to get caught up in the moment. i had a very good arab girlfriend in h.s we were really good friends born a few hours apart. i was on the 28th she was on the 29th of jan. so, we were really close. my other friend, has a palastinin boyfriend and he is really nice as well...
my friend said it best to me to get my mind where it should be, " heather, this is b.s. its not fair to the innocent ones here. when t.mc bombed ok, nobody went out and beat all country hick white folks..." that was the end of my ignorance...because no one deserves to be treated like that...so, i guess we should pray for one another..you know....that we dont hold all accountable for a few...lets not add to the ignorance...

I back your words 100%

We have enough going on, we don't need to add to it by incorporating fear into it.

Hi Nitra,

I am glad you are back safe and sound.

I am really glad you addressed this, I was saddened to hear on the news last night that our mid-eastern Americans were being harrassed in some cities and parts of the country.

I agree with you and can only add one more thing to that......Please, Please people this wast done in hatred, please do not do more harm and violence to fellow human beings out of hatred.

Nitra has it so right, we have to stand united. We have to be proud of who we are and not overreact. Not to start pointing fingers and jump to soon at who is to blame. To do this will only cause more harm. I know you ladies and guys have so much love and goodness in your heart I have seen it pouring out more than one time. please use your energies to prayer for everyone Nitra mentioned they all need your prayers.

Love and Peace
Lonetta
