for all the people who died, all their families, etc. But it's uplifting to see the Tunisians gathering together, rejecting this attack.

I so admire these people for standing up to be counted, even in the face of further threats from ISIS.
And, don't forget, it's Ramadan right now, so they're NOT at peak energy levels, having fasted all day.
