ATAA
to Pres. Bush: "We pray for our fellow Americans"
Here is the full text of the letter: "September 9, 2002 The Honorable George W. BushPresident of the United States of America Dear Mr. President: The attacks of September 11th not only brought our nation together, but also demonstrated to America that we are not alone. We gained strength from the outpouring of worldwide condemnation of the attacks and from the renewed sense of alliance with our friends. We, as Turkish Americans, have watched with pride as Turkey took a leading role in supporting the United States in the fight against the scourge of international terrorism. The Turkish nation stands with America, not only in words, but also in deeds, putting the lives of her troops at risk in Afghanistan and demonstrating to the world that this is not a fight against religion, but against those who have hijacked Islam in the name of evil. At the first anniversary of this tragedy, we pray for our fellow Americans whose lives were so violently taken away and for their families. And we wish you, Mr.President, continued strength.Respectfully yours,
