I too extend my deepest condolences and sympathies to the loved ones, families, friends, colleagues of those senselessly murdered by these brainwashed cowards. Your Excellency, Secretary-General Ban-Ki-Moon: please do much more to insure the safety of our UN staff wherever such danger lurks. Sincerely yours, JP Fenyo, Philosopher, aka The Original New York City Free Advice Man.
