Are We To Crumble In The Presence Of Terrorism?

A number of people have decided to forego business as usual
because of the recent terrorist attacks on the USA which
have caused untold loss of life and property and enormous
grief.

This has been another "shot heard around the world." The
aftermath affects us all and will be far-reaching.

We must not let the dastardly acts of a few terrorists stop
us in our tracks. That is precisely what they wished to
happen. They wanted their acts of terrorism to paralyze us
to prove the power of their actions.

We cannot close our eyes and pretend it didn't happen. It
struck to the very core of our souls and hearts. The news
coverage of these events has been in-depth and all-
encompassing. There are few people on the face of this
earth who cannot know of the attack and the collapse of the
two towers.

The loss of innocent lives is so great it cannot be
estimated at this point.

Where there are natural disasters such as earthquakes,
floods and hurricanes we provide all the assistance possible
and do our best to return things to normal as quickly as we
can. We do not allow our business activities to come to a
halt.

This is not because we are uncaring, indifferent or greedy.
Continuing business as usual provides needed services and
goods and the work involved gives us a viable outlet for our
grief and sorrow. The more one sits and thinks about the
recent terrorist attack and its aftermath, the greater its
impact on our thoughts and our economy.

If there has ever been a time in history when we need to be
strong, united and enduring, it is now. We must have a
strong economy and total solidarity. Our leaders need our
whole-hearted support.

The intent of the terrorist is to frighten and paralyze
those upon whom they perpetrate their acts. We cannot let
them instil fear and paralysis in us. Should that happen we
have given them victory over us and our affairs.

We come from hardy stock and are not easily frightened or
manipulated. There is much pride and great humanity in our
world. We have always become strongly united in the face of
threats. That is our glory and that is our strength.

Difficult as it is at this time, let us get back to
repairing the physical and mental damage done by the
terrorists. Let us show them their acts are no more
significant than the attack of a flea on an elephant.
It is an irritant, but it is not frightening.
