National Peace Foundation Statement on Terrorist Attacks

We want to thank all who have sent messages of condolence to all of us at the National Peace Foundation. At a time of nameless faceless violence, it is comforting to receive human messages of understanding from across the world.

No American could awake on Wednesday morning without the sense that our world has changed. But it will be important that our nation's response is measured and careful, without mirroring or escalating the devastation imposed by terrorists upon the innocent. We will all be working to assure such a response.

And while none of us has suffered personal losses, none can escape the shock and emptiness which follows this tragedy. We need to work together to overcome the feelings of alienation and hopelessness which can result in violence, as we also learn to deal with the world's changing realities.

Sarah Harder
President
