When two nights ago the telephone awake me at 4 am and it was my friend calling from Argentina, I already new it was bad news. But even when the bad news where not about my family it still took me some time to believe what I was hearing. The horror in his trembling voice, telling me about the attack turned into a cry as he was watching on the CNN the second tower falling down with all the people inside .... It was like an old bad memory coming back to life again and again. We suffered two terrorist attacks in Argentina some years ago, they blew the embassy of Israel and then the AMIA, also from the Jewish community. I have no words to describe the horror I have seen then and even when I try it is still hard to accept this terrorist assault thousands of times bigger. I've been so shocked that only now I can write this lines. I have no words to express the pain and sorrow I feel for all the innocents that perished and their families. I know well all the pain and suffering New Yorkers will still have to go through during the next months during the rescues and clean up. But I can say that maybe this time I can have HOPE. Countries like Argentina have no resources nor possibilities to counteract and apply justice to this kind of beasts. But this country can and I know that will. This time is not only the USA ... its the NATO and the hole occidental world looking for justice. I only wish this time we find a FINAL solution. I don't want to see this happen again .... >From Maui, Hawaii, with my most sincere condolences ...
