This is horrific. I have never said that what the Terroists have done is okay. I have just been through some things that make me fear the result. I was just seven during the Cuban Missle Crisis and this makes me feel very young and vulnerable. I am also angry about the loss of life. Almost seven thousand people were killed and endless others hurt badly. The entire country is confused and worried and upset. I understand this. In the last two years I have lost 24 people from my life. Some from when I was a kid, some who I was very close to when they passed. So the loss of some of the most important people in my life is a real part of my everyday life. With the kind of WAR that could result from the actions of our Government all may die or just more people I care about. I have had enough loss in my life by premature death than anyone I know, and I didn't kill anyone either. I have learned how to grieve that works for me. Perhaps this has made it harder for me to understand how anyone can think about anything but the horror and loss people are feeling and all of America is going through. Revenge is still a dish best served cold. I hope when all is said and done we are still alive so that not only will the Terrorists be gone but also those people who did that torture death to those animals pay the price for such horrible treatment as well. The loss of human life of course is more important, but the torture of any animal is sick sick sick. There is no sense to the attacks on the Pentagon and WTC, people had a belief that they were pleasing GOD, I also have done some reasearch and found that if any person of Islam embarrasses the Nation Of Islam that all of Islam will judge and hand out justice. From how serious embarassing Islam sounds to be I have to wonder why the Talaban doesn't run for it's life because what the Nation Of Islam is much more punishing than anything we might do. I still like the way the Governments of the Terroist must be twisting in the wind wondering when the bombs will fall and if this psychological Warfar just might be a good thing as well. :)
