>> Dear friends:
>>
>> I just received this email from a cousin in Norway:
>>
>> "It's with grief and shock we got the news about the cruel and cowardly
>> attack on your country and all those innocent people. We can hardly find
>> words to express how sad we're feeling, but our sympathy is with you and
>> also with all those unknown people who have been killed, maimed or have
>> lost their loved ones.
>> The whole thing is so unreal that you almost have to check that you are
>> awake. Beside the human tragedy, this is also a threat to all democratic
>> nations in the free world including our country, so even if we are far
> away
>> in distance it does also feel very close. One good thing, if one can say
>> that in a situation like this, is that the world's major nations seem to
>> have become more united and determined to fight these evel elements
>> together."
>>
>>
>>
>> I wanted to share it with you because I'm sure it represents the
> feelings
>> of average citizens all over Europe.  Cousin Helge has been here in
> America
>> several times; he has a special feeling for New York because he
>> participated in the NY Marathon three years ago.
>>
>> At times like this, of ocurse, grammar issues that we would normally
> debate
>> have taken a secondary place in our lives.
>>
>> Warmest regards to you all.
