War has been brought home to us in a very dramatic way. Television has a way of doing things with war that isn't reality.

God Bless America and may Bush do the right thing

People like you should be shot on the spot. Your too stupid to allow to multiply.

"...Then lets think about what got us into this mess....

The wisdom of these words is so great. I'm certain no one will pay any heed to them....

[Austin Willard Wright]

Civilians on planes won't be armed. The opposite will happen. A grand crackdown on second amendment rights and the rest of the bill of rights will soon be underway using the "we are at war" mantra. Look for freepers to applaud this crackdown!

[Tennessean4Bush]

Declare war against the nation of terrorism, and attack terrorist cells whatever country they may be located in. Any countries that don't want attacks falling within their territory would be advised not to be hosts to these islands of that nation.

Ditto that. We are at war. It now has a face. Everyone in the US and the world by the end of the day will watch the video of the World Trade Centers collapsing.

Mr. Bin Laden, Mr. Arafat, other terrorists:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

[Temple Drake]

fly all the American flags you've got, and get your loved ones OUT of any federal building NOW.

We will find who did this and then, all heck is going to break out. We as a nation must stand together an the Democractic congressmen MUST stop on coming to how to destroy Bush. We survived WW1, WW2 Korea and Vietman amd we will come through this as well. It is time for us all to fall to out kness and pray to our God for help and for peace. When we find who did this, no holding back whatsoever. Let us send the wrath of the United States of America on them and make it final. May God have mercy on us, the United States of America. This is not a good day in our nation, not at all.

This is perhaps the most foolish thing that a terrorist organization could do. Now the US has a free had to do any reasonable thing to eradicate them. And there will be no significant international effort to stop us.

You are exactly right, my friend.

War has been brought home to us in a very dramatic way.

Any reports from other than DC and NY and the Pittsburgh crash? Anything going on in other freeper cities? Military movements? Combat aircraft?

Very true: this is an act of war, and our response(s) will be made with this fact in mind.

Who did it? Chairman Arafat's protestations aside, if (and I stress if)responsibility for these acts lie with Palestinian elements--however radical they may be--Israel no longer needs to concern itself with negative US public sentiment if indeed war comes to the region.

In fact,--and I mean this SOLELY in a very narrowly-defined strategic sense--if Palestinian elements are responsible for this attack, American support of aggressive Israeli action in defense of its sovreignty and security against Palestinians and their apologists will be similar to U.S. support/acceptance of anti-Bolshevik talk and action made by the Germans during the 1930's (i.e., "American First"-ers who saw Nazi Germany as a "buffer" between Western Europe/United States and the Soviet Union).

How can American sentiment go against a PM Sharon who chooses to deal with the "killers of innocent Israelis and Americans alike" in a far more aggressive manner than he has previously-?

The irony of Fox and Friends talking about giving blood to check for cholesterol this morning.
There is a much more important use for it now.

In the meantime, we must calmly determine who did this and extract retribution so great as to forever put doubt into a future enemy that might consider harming us.

We know of dozens of confirmed terrorist training centers.

What purpose is there for them other than to plan more similar incidents?

I say wipe them all out totally every last one of them.

And if the specific group can be identified, destroy the capital of the host country totally.

And for good measure, all infrastructure.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Our enemy consists of all known terrorists and all officials of all governments which are known to support terrorism. Any of these people we can get in our sights should be killed. Bush should immediately rescind the executive order which forbids assassination."

Yassir Arafat's reign must end...MUD

I was scheduled to donate blood here in Canada tomorrow. I will ring and see what the Canadian Blood services wants me to do.

I've always had some sympathy with the Palestinian's plight. I am not a gung-ho supporter of Israel, although they have some right on their side too.

If the Palestinians did this, I no longer care. They'd have made a grave mistake. If they are responsible then they are a malicious virus on the human species and need to be removed. There will be no sympathy left for them in this country. Whoever did this, let nothing be left of them.

[A+Bert (Outta here)]

You hit the nail on the head. Now to find the culprits who have shown the world that we are so vunerable. Blaming isn't going to solve the problem.
