Dear Sarah,

I was in New-Jersey at work when the towers fell, and later in the evening, I could see the smoke from Sandy-Hook bay. Several of my friends lost relatives or friends. The guard at the desk in my company lost his parents in Flight 93. So, I have been very close to 9/11 and felt a lot of compassion and sadness for all my friends. Also very shocked and perturbed by this horror. For several weeks, I could not sleep when I heard a plane fly over my town... But, I beleive this adminstration has used this event in a despicable manner to justify a war with Iraq, while there is no connection with Al Quaeda. I am absolutely not anti-american, but I am opposed to the Bush-Rumsfeld-Wolfovitz-Perle-Cheney cabbal.
I do not beleive their motives are pure and high. I guess I could be defined as a leftist here, although in french standards, I`d be rater right wing...To give you an example, a guy that I really like and resonate with is Michael Moore. He has a very humane vision of the american society, and speaks with his heart.
