Hi Christina,
Good thought! I have read in our local papers that about 75 Canadians are also missing and that three of them died in the plane crashes. We will continue to pray for the people and all the nations.
To me it doesn't really matter what citizenship people have, they are human beings. I know how horrified I was ( and still am) when I had turned on my TV in the morning to watch the news before sending my son to school. I first couldn't grasp this, I really thought I was watching something like INFERNO. I actually changed the channel only to see the same picture again. Then the second tower crumbled and my son asked me "Will there be a war, mama?"
He was scared and and I was in shock along with many Canadians. The same night we attended a prayer service at our church. Lots of tears were flowing and you know, they still haven't stopped.When I hear about the last phone calls people made or the CEO who lost all of his 700 employees..it all comes back again. These terrible events will be etched in our memories forever.All over the world, no matter what nation we belong to.I do hope from the bottom of my heart that these evildoers are brought to justice soon !!

: As we are all praying and remembering what happened in New York, let's keep in our prayers the citizens of what are estimated now to be at least 50 other nations that lost people in the WTC. National Public Radio is reporting at least 300 casualties in Great Britain, 150 in Germany, as well as many in countries ranging from Denmark, Sweden, and China to Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Japan, Phillippines, Mexico, Colombia and Chile. This is truly a tragedy that has touched the world.
