Monday
September 11, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : What happened five years ago will be discussed for perhaps another hundred years and the response to what happened is changing the attitudes and the concepts all people have about conflict, big or small. Today we discuss this change and try to deal with what we are now accepting as appropriate behaviour.
