Bishop Tom,
It’s so hard to enter into honest, serious dialogue with others and consider their vision a richness to be honored, accepted and put into process in our real lives.  I strongly recall upon our seeing the carnage of  “9/11” here in Managua on T.V.  I said to me wife:  “now is the time for the president of the U.S. of North America to shut down all it’s activities and send out a message to the entire world inviting all and any foreign government to send over a delegation to dialogue with the USA and together agree upon a common feasible way to resolve the problem.  Instead the USA president said: “We will get those bastards and give them tit for tat.” Since then the USA has been in continual war with an incalculable number of deaths around the world.  International terrorism has become the reality with all the loss of human life and damage to our dear Mother Earth
