Some things to help each of us to deal with the tragic events of September 11, 2001

My intention: to provide a collection of articles and information, so that each of us is better able to judge for ourselves our future actions, as individuals, as a country, and as humanity.

The fourth is freedom from fear . . . anywhere in the world. --President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Message to Congress, January 6, 1941
