Hi to the group
Today I recieved some bad news. I have a friend, whose name is
Ganesh. Today I recieved an email from his ex-roomate who introduced
me to Ganesh 3 years ago. Apparently he worked in the WTC, on the
102nd floor. His family have been searching for him since Tuesday.
He just married three months back, and his wife is in utter grief.
She moved here straight from India. I was relieved to hear she has
family in NJ area to help her through this time. Please send prayers
for Ganesh. He is a great person, very accomplished, yet very simple
and humble. I will always remember his simplicity and kind
generosity. When I heard I was in utter disbelief as I also haven't
heard from him in some time and he usually stays in contact with my
mom through e-mail.
It is true this tragedy has bought americans together, but some
people have taken their doubt out on the groups they feel
are 'enemies'. I have heard of attacks on muslims, middle eastern,
pakistani and Indian persons from mere name calling to firing guns on
them. This utterly terrifies me, as there are people from all walks
of life who are in America as citizen, or if not citizen, are law
abiding and no one deserves to be attacked. Even those who were.
I have another question does anyone think US will really 'go to war'
and what type of war will it be? I am very upset because I was
supposed to go to India to finish my exams, now I am very worried. I
spent two years there studying master's and the exams are in
November. Now I am not sure if I will go.. what do you think?

Jen, I promise to pray for Ganesh and his family. Also, please
everyone pray for a Bangladeshi named Atif Qureshi, who is also
missing. Also I agree with you, Jen, about the nasty attacks made by
individuals on those of other cultures. I have heard of one attack on
a Sikh in the United States and also I have seen some horrible things
said about bin Laden. I am not saying one thing or the other about
bin Laden. All I wish to say is that it scares me to see everyone
jumping on this triumphalist bandwagon. When people are that gung ho
for justice, innocent people can be hurt. I understand that a country
defending itself has to assume difficult postures, but I also hope
that those who have set up a GOOD/EVIL, ANGEL/DEVIL dichotomy and who
think they are on the GOOD side of it won't slip into violence under
the banner of justice. We all need to pray for peace, and hopefully
the Dalai Lama's advice for a peaceful resolution to these matters
can be acheived. I have no sense for politics. But I do hope for the
best.

> "On a separate train of thought, Usama bin Ladeen is a Saudi
dissident currently harboured by Afghanistan (Taliban) who took U.S.
dollars not to grow "poppies". Ironically, it was the U.S. who
trained bin Ladeen "

****** weLL THATS WHAT ALL IS "WHAT WE SOW IS WHAT WE REAP""" BUT IF
AT SOME TIMES WE THE HUMANS HAVE COMMITED MISTAKES BY SOWING WRONG
SEEDS ,ITS TIME WE NEED TO CHECK OURSELVES & PUT WRONGS TO RIGHT BUT
IN RIGHT MANNER SO AS THE FUTURE AGAION SHOULD NOT SEE POISON GROWING
OF THE FIELDS WE HARVEST TODAY""""""


"the U.S. will first establish and gather hard evidence before making
plans to proceed further. Even in taking the process further if they
establish bin Ladeen to be fully responsible (via other terrorist
networks and connections, ....."

*****Will getting of BIN LADEN end this war ??????? IMO,there will
be many other LADENS in making!! & repurcussions will not be like
full fledged wars but a new form of war is bein seen ,where one iwill
not fight at outside boundaries but will have to even fight within
ones own geographical boundaries!!!!!! many countries can even see
outbreak of civil war like situation *******

" There is no saying at the moment. It can well be a "retaliation"
and not "full-on" war. There is a vast difference between the 2
wors. All we can do is pray and hope that there will be No War. In
weeks to come, the govt. and other world leaders (Nato, etc.) will
have a clearer picture. Meantime, Australia's Prime Minister has
invoked the "Anzus Treaty" in preparation for the time in case the
U.S. requires assistance from our defence forces. Our country backs
the U.S. all the way."

*********** yeah PRAYERS ONLY TRUE PRAYERS ARE THE
SOLUTION TODAY er not solution but THE SEEDS which can be reaped
later !!!!!! but remeber true ,selfless prayers. maybe (& i pray ,tat
my feelings be wrong) i mite be wrong but still then ,true prayers
wud if not do ne good 2 u will harm none! *******

UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD ,HUMANITY ABOVE ALL ,
MAY LOVE ,PEACE & COMPASSION PREVAIL,
