Deepest sympathy

I was shocked, hurt and angry when I saw the news on CNN. I followed it from the beginning and watched through till late at night. I even woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the TV again. I couldn't believe that it was real ...

How could such a tragic thing happen? How could somebody be so mean to attack and cause the loss of so many lives in such a deliberate way ? So many innocent people with so many wonderful things going on in their lives have now all turned to ashes. Didn't they have the right to live?

There shouldn't be any excuse whatsoever to justify what has been done. It was not a political issue but an act against humanity ...

My heart goes out to you, America.
