We are all shocked about the horrible terror-attack against New York and Washington. We couldn't believe that men can do something like this. 
"The ethic of "Reverence for life" is good, as its aim is, to preserve and promote life. All destruction and damaging of life, in whatever conditions it takes place, is evil".

But we are also worried that the reactions to such an inhuman act could be an eye for an eye. "Acts of retaliation" are counter-terrorism without any gain for mankind. On the contrary they would step up  the spiral of hate to dreadful height. And however we have to act! Protect life, protect and conserve it.

The German Albert-Schweitzer-Association wrote an open letter to the German Chancellor to ask him to be careful and to respect the ethic of "Reverence for Life". Why don't you write a similar letter to your President or Chancellor?
