Brian,
What can anyone say? But, our thoughts are with you.
This is almost surreal, an attack on both trade towers and The Pentagon? That's just beyond my ability to absorb. I fear there will be retribution and we will not enter the 21st century very peacefully afterall.
I'm sure that I, like many, am just amazed that such a thing could happen. The World Trade Center bombing a few years ago seemed such an unlikely event and now this... Perhaps we are too complacent, and too used to enjoying our freedom. I think we need to be more conscious of it and the price we pay to have it.
Where will it end, and to what lengths must we go to do it?
SAD is the one word that sums up the entire situation.
