p.gif (3432 bytes)lease, take a few moments to read the following e-mail.

One of my best friends has lost his cousin in a brutal bomb attack in Sri Lanka. There were at least 20 people left dead and a lot got injured.

The bomb went off on a friday afternoon at rush hour in a busy shopping street.

How cruel can people be when they are blinded by hate and fanatism?

I wish for Sri Lanka  a peaceful solution before more harm is done.

I don't know how to ease their pain, but maybe your words of comfort written in the guestbook might help.

I would feel much obliged if you could pass this on to all of your peace loving friends.
