I wanted to be in the U.S. The people here were great -- flowers piled up outside the American Institute -- but I wanted to be home.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113212589718825744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14845036.post-1158128157925681332006-09-13T02:15:00.000-04:002006-09-13T02:15:00.000-04:00I hope that the humanity that is there, within the...I hope that the humanity that is there, within the hearts and the minds of <I>all extremists,</I> can some day begin to win out over the hate.<BR/><BR/>But that will never be possible as long as each side continues to demonize the other, as long as we allow ourselves to believe that the other side is anything less than human. <BR/><BR/>I saw that broadcast, that night.
