...have been touched by this reaction, but I have been touched by the response of the world as well. I have been touched by the sight of Turkish flags at half-mast. By candlelight vigils in Dhaka, Bangladesh and peace rallies in Tibet. By Palestinians rushing to the Red Crescent to donate blood and by Europeans sending prayers westward with their leaders.
