Re: The Morning After

Hi Bob, some information you may have read from my posts. I live near Frankfurt in central Germany in a samll town in the countryside. I am working at the German State RR headquraters in Frankfurt. Does your relaives from Southern Germany came from the Freiburg area ? My mothers' s maiden name was Keller too. I spent some time in the US and most of my holidays but I have traveled some other partes of the world too. exsp India, Pakisatan and for one time Afghanistan in 1979/80.
I lost 4 friends in yesterdays desaster at the WTS and I am upset too and I could understand your anger. But news over here and some other newgroups form a picture that blind revenge it a mayor goal And I interpreted some of the post here I the same way because they sound the same. Your country was hit the fist time since 60 years by an enemy, ours was hit 3 times within the last 100 years (WW I caused a an serbian attack on an menber of the Austrain Royal family and spread over the world by an system of support treaties)the infamous WWII and the Soviet Intervention in the former GDR in 1957. So I could understand the feelings you have. As I posted before most of us have a problem with patriotism (caused by US education after WW II) and " right or wrong my country" is not my point of view. If we were led in an war by an criminal government (like Hitler) without me, I would have to resist.
Now I am in preparations for the 21st NG convention, hope that air travel will come to normal soon. If we would stay paralyzed they would have won.
Hope that clears my point of view a bit.
