"Having been in the physical places where terrible things have happened -- this week's Paris attack, the massacre at Tiananmen Square, the bombing at the Moscow Domodedovo Airport arrival hall not long after Richard and I went to Zelenograd, and the shooting of Gabby Gifford and others in front of the Safeway store in Tucson where we shop on our trips to Tucson -- makes me pause and reflect: how and why can human beings do such horrible things to other human beings? We need more organizations like Tulsa Global Alliance and leaders like you who facilitate person to person contacts and increase global understanding. Thank you for all you and TGA do, and keep up the good work."
