There has been a lot of debate about what we should do. What should "America" do. What we must not do is react to violence with more violence. To answer hate with hate and racism. To do so would defile the very concepts of freedom, democracy, and civilization. Racist killing in revenge will bring no honor to our dead.

The politicians also want to use this horrific act to scrap our democratic civil liberities. They want to out law encryption, to monitor everything we say, to infilitrate every opposition group, to use racial profiling. These acts could represent the death of the american consitution.
