Hi Alex,

I'm glad to hear you escaped! ( I won't say unscathed, no one was :(( )
One of my acquaintances was supposed to be in the WTC, but his trip was canceled at the last minute.

Many emotions have been felt and expressed and anger is certainly justified. Thankfully, we can't (or at least don't) act purely on our emotions.

It appears that at least some of those resposible will be caught and hopefully this will be the worst attack ever!

My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Bill

>>>It's absolutely impossible for me to imagine a fit punishment for the animals that perpetrated such a bizarre act. A part of me can't think of anything but absolutely flattening whatever country hosts these terrorists, but then death seems akin to mercy for them.

>>Sorry to interrupt, but what makes you better than them? I am ashamed that my nation has given birth to a bunch of communist generals and politicians who flattened just a few cities - and they should be punished, IMO. But, leaving out any sort of double standards, what's the difference between that, this today, and flattening a country? In the size of the club?

This is how I felt yesterday, and it hasn't changed.
