  Re: Fear from Nature or from Man

It is very strange, but Sept. 11, 2001 had been designated as the
International Day of Peace. This traditional day had begun exactly 20 years
ago, initiated by a request from the people of Costa Rica to the United
Nations, and it was decided at that time to host this day at or about the
same day that the general assembly of the UN convenes each September. I am
enclosing here an address that was prepared by the Secretary General of the
UN, and perhaps was never given, as the UN was evacuated very shortly after
the disaster yesterday at the World Trade Center in NY. I searched the UN web
site and found this document posted below.

Reading these lines now is painfully haunting as we all wish for peace, yet
are once again reminded that there are those in the world who only want the
opposite.
