         With all due respect, who do not know _what_ this is.
         No one has taken responsibility, and a number of groups have, 
according to news reports (see the AP wires, CNN.com, and so on) have 
actually denied or expressed sympathy. They may be lying.
         Until someone speaks up, either to claim responsibility, or our 
gov't, to tell us who they have found perpetrated these horrid events, 
well...I've got two friends unaccounted for. My roommate can't find her 
dad. I'm thinking that finding them safe and hale, and figuring out when I 
can stop by the Red Cross, or help otherwise, is a excellent reaction to 
the situation.
         Remember, everyone, please, that the OK City bombing was blamed, 
at first, on Arabic terrorists. Jumping to conclusions solves NOTHING.
