I support sending a letter of condolence, but I would put a little rider with it.

As I said in the Seanad this morning, the Jordanian response is also questionable because they executed two people who had nothing whatever to do with that attack. They were collateral damage, and that is regrettable. Obviously, people want to have a response and to show they are not powerless, but this battle is actually fought out not where people are burned or hacked to death but in the media. We need to hit it in the media and appeal to the newspapers and so on not to give it this immense coverage, this sensationalising. There should be a co-ordinated response in the West on the Internet, on Twitter and so on, because that is where the battle lies.
