This posting was the lunch conversation with me and Big H. He knows where I am coming from albeit rather a bit more emotional (cuz I am a girl) than for some of you. Penn, hadn't posted his comments before I left for lunch...but I am 100% with him.
The interesting thing about the lunch, my fortune cookie stated "Hate does not conquer hate. Only love can conquer hate". How appropo, right?
I agree with Echoes to an extent....I did forgive but I didn't forget. I will never forget and until every last one of them is either sent packing or they realize this is America, not another nation of islam...none of them will be my friend. None of them are the slightest bit removed from suspicion. Those monsters that perpetrated the most heinous attack on our country...they assimilated. They were neighbors, co-workers, friends, fellow students. Look what they did!!
I appreciate and respect everyone's opinion on this forum. We are all entitled to our feelings ...especially about things we are passionate about. But no amount of "feel good, kumbyah" stories will change my mind about them. And when I am put in a position where I HAVE TO deal with them, I am polite and businesslike but I do not go out of my way for them.
