"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."
