No matter what the political differences and conflicts with America were, such differences should not stand as a psychological barrier hindering humanitarian assistance and help to the American citizens, and all people in America who were severely effected by these horrifying attacks, particularly after the American hospitals announced shortages of blood needed by the victims….
Irrespective of the conflict with America it is a human duty to show sympathy with the American people and be with at these horrifying, and awesome events which are bound to awaken human conscience.
Everybody should work to make humanitarian consideration prevail over political stance and offer aid to the victims of this horrifying act.
