MAKING
PEACE
IN
DEFIANCE
OF
TERRORISTS
An
Unpublished Letter to Los Angeles Times
Although
we may never know for sure, the main reason the terrorists
blew-up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland probably
wasn't to kill any of the hundreds of men, women, and children
in the plane or on the ground. Instead, the terrorists may well
want to kill the prospects of peace for millions of others in
the Middle East.
Just as the mass-murderers should be brought to
justice -- as long as innocent people are not caught in the
crossfire, lest we sink to the level of the terrorists -- we
must not let these insane cowards intimidate us!
Let all those who renounce terror be heard -- call their bluff if nothing else
-- let's forge ahead to make
the Middle East and the rest of our world a more peaceful,
prosperous, and just place in which to live.
