Great quote

In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkof was ask if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer:

"I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is to arrange the meeting"

i believe that forgiveness begins on a personal level. if every person who was offended, forgave, then vengeance would be obsolete.

there is also much more to the story. one side of the conflict says harboring terrorists, another side of the conflict says honoring hospitality according to their culture.

i cannot say whether one or another is more or less right. and i don't believe that anyone else can, either.
