Couldn't agree more!!!

Unfortunately there were earlier blows in the war, it's a shame it took something of that magnitude for us to finally respond...

Never forget what?
Six years later and the son-of-a-bi@#$ who master minded bringing down the towers is sending us video.
Our idiot of a leader passed up the opportunity to chase the a-h@#$ any where on the globe and kill his ass.
Instead we go to the quagmire in Iraq. It isn't that the emperor has no clothes. He has idiot pants, a belligerent shirt, and a dunce cap.

Now come on WaScubaDude... don't beat around the bush.. (pun) tell us what you think!

I'll never forget that morning... My wife and I were watching the morning news as it happened. Most mornings we don't have a TV on and I go through my day never watching the news... but for some reason, that morning it was on, and the shot of the second plane hitting will be burned into my brain forever. I guess it's the pearl harbor or the Kennedy assassination of this generation. The day you could never forget and will always remember where you were when you saw or heard it.

I will never forget where I was that morning... I was on the tappan-zee bridge heading to work. It was a super bright clear day and you can see manhattan and the twin towers proudly pointed towards the sky. I don't know why I wanted to glanceat manhattan? I usually just drive the bridge and Ignore the city. This day was different. so I turned and looked. right at the first tower in smoke. That, I will never forget. Unfortunatly, I knew that it was terrorism as I picked up my cell phone and called the wife before I turned on the car radio and asked her to turn on the TV. by the time I got into work the second plane had hit and everyone was around the TV by then.

I am sorry for your loss, unfortunatly terrorism is not unknown to me. even now after 9/11 I'm afraid that most americans do not understand that they want to kill us, its as simple asthat. they hate everything that we hold sacred. Life... even now, a short 6 years later, we have become complacent again. To fight terrorism we must never forget those who lost thier life and still lose it today. so, don't let those bastards take your life. if they do, that they will win. Never be terrified just diligent and careful. Look around and understand your environment and try and spot any suspiciouse activity and at the same time don't let it take over you. to win you must find a balance. its like anything else in life. The key though is to live and love life, fight for it everyda, and we shall win.
