Rosie O'Donnel was talking last year about a man in a convience store that happened to be arab. She looked at him and smiled. This was about a month after what happened. She said he almsot started to cry. He hadn't been smiled at in almost a month. It sickened me to hear this.

We go arround in our protective bubbles judging people without getting to know them. We miss out on the the beauty that surrounds us because we have too much hatred in our hearts.

Yes I agree that we need to be cautious but at what cost? Why should we view every arab as a potential terrorist when some of the most wonderful, kind people I have ever known have been arab? If you prick them they bleed the same way we do.

What happened was horrible. No one disagrees with that. We have to come to a realization that we are no longer safe in our own backyards and that sucks but why do we have to treat strangers any different?
