In a recent interview,
 seneral Norman Schwartzkopf
was asked if he thought
there was room for forgiveness
toward the people who have harbored
and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated
the 9/11 attacks on America.
 
His answer was classic Schwartzkopf.
 
The General said,"I believe that forgiving them is God's function. 
 
OUR job is to arrange the meeting."
 
AMEN
