Numb
I have been reading these posts for the last few minutes. I had work at school that kept me late. My students and I followed the news this morning with stunned disbelief. The kids asked me lots of questions; they knew that Jean and I had been to the top of one of the towers. I saw them collapse...and it still hasn't sunk in yet. Jean worked at the Pentagon for a year, so she has some memories of that building. Several of our teachers had relatives that worked in the Pentagon, and as of this evening all are accounted for. Larry I pray the people you know there got out in time. Kevin, what great news from you! A few minutes ago, I received a wonderful email from my friend Ilya, whom I met last year at Green Bank and drove around our area just a few weeks ago. He expressed his sorrow at the news and said his family is praying for the people and OUR NATION. A terrorist bomb went off in his hometown just a few weeks ago, killing several and wounding over one hundred. If you had ever told me that I would live long enough to not only have a Russian friend, but have them praying for our nation at a time of crisis.....well I would have doubted your sanity. So no matter how crazy the world gets, there is always hope on the horizon.
Now we have some unfinished business.....to discover who is behind this, and make them wish they had never been born....Don |

Then stunned, I went to school. But by the end of my first class, a guy comes in and says classes are canceled and they started blocking off my school. I honestly thought I was going to hear sirens. It was just like a horrible nightmare. For while I kept hoping to wake up. My prayers go out to all of those with family and friends anywhere near these terribe attacks. All those poor people.... I'm leaving to go give blood... just like at the gas stations, I hope to find a long waiting line. ~Marisa |

<<both from US and abroad would do a thing like that except the suicide bombers of the ME (I hate to be this damn stereotypical).>>
Lwin, I'm glad to say I've drank a beer with you and I forgive you for being stereotypical. With this type of action, rage ensues and our underlying personal belief system comes through. <<Someone, probably us, is bombing the outskirts of Kabal, Afghanistan. Here we go again. God save us and all the people on this planet.>> I have prayed more today than I think I have in the last decade. As someone who marched in college in protest against "Desert Storm" I think I have grown and understand better today than I did then. I feel that when we find out who did this, we can not let the thoughts of "respect for all" cloud our judgement. We need to eliminate the cause of this terrorism. "Cut off the head of the serpent and another one grows", means nothing to me. We cut the next one off BEFORE it blooms. We must go on the defensive to the end, not just to the political statement. Sorry for my political ranting, I just can't remember an issue that actually made me cry. I pray for all of us, those who suffered, are currently suffering, but mostly those of us who are yet to suffer... This is not the end of terrorism unless we make it the end!!! Doug

Judgement
Quote:
There is a brilliant B&W movie called Bad Day at Black Rock, starring Spencer Tracey and Robert Ryan. Very sensitive treatment of the racial hatred issue as it applied in WW2. We need to remember all these lessons learned in the hard times. If we forget history, we are condemned to relive our mistakes over and over again. Perhaps that is what Purgatory is really about. Really pleased to be seeing good news on the site. We need to support the rescue people, the next few days will be no picnic. Hopefully it will not be as bad as we are dreading. Joe

Glad to see the reports of loved ones being safe & sound.
Usually, I would be one of the first ones to be shaking the sword of retribution . . . that will come, but for now I have not yet heard from my DC friend. Would appreciate any and all prayers, no matter what god you believe in.

1.Unrehearsed spontaneity by members of congress. 2. Americans. Not democrats, republicans, conservatives or liberals. No... for one brief moment, we actually saw Americans. Perhaps we can extend this feeling to actually become the UNITED States again. Ron.

I hate to be the a-hole on this topic but you all do know that this kind of thing (suicide bombing) happens on daily basis in Israel -- right? I am saddened by the lost of lives but America (not the Americans) has been bombing places like Iraq on daily basis and killing people too. I swear to god we all should just toss out all the bombs and guns and just live happily together. There are other planets to explore and we have to spread the human race. We should not be killing each other! God bless us all from the hands of fools and politicians and diplomats. Lwin

Brave guys, and brave cops lost too. You will find these good people managed to get most out of the first tower, and lost their lives doing it. I fear badly the second tower was hit too low and too hard. It collapsed without enough time to save the occupants. Don, Jerry, Doug, Chris, everyone, If you did not have a God to pray to, you would find one watching this. But very likely the perpetrators did it for the glory of theirs. As humans we do not know enough about our own nature to say we know the face of God. We will continue praying for all who have lost. That includes most of the Free World here. Joe
