We deplore the heinous acts of violence that occurred on September 11, 2001 in New York City and Washington DC, and we believe the individuals responsible should be brought to justice.

We believe that the lives and livelihoods of innocent people should not be harmed, whether at home or abroad.

We believe that the response of the people of the United States in the coming weeks will have a profound effect on our future and that our response as a global community must be just and reasonable, not driven by fear and rage.

We believe that military action in response to this act of terrorism will ultimately not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States.

We strongly encourage our leaders to choose a course of action that will spare the lives of innocent people, that will rebuild our faith in humanity, and will foster a peaceful, humane and harmonious world.
