These Men are hero's of our Nation and should be buried in Arlington National cemetary.

HEROES

In the highest sense of the word.

I understand what you are saying but it's also the definition "always locked" that has to be changed. The cockpit should be secure from the passengers. No one should have access and that was the failure here. I was watching a silly program called "Dead Last" and unbelievably they had the same scenario. There was a problem in the passenger compartment and a pilot came out to see what the problem was. If the pilots need their own washroom facilities, so be it.
"Always locked" should mean just that.

So you are saying that in order to buy peace we should throw Israel to the wolves. That would at best just rent peace for awhile. When we run out of sheep then it is our turn. Then all the hate and violence directed at Israel would be sent our way. It is too late to placate these people. However just bombing the poop out of them is not the answer either. Just a short time ago many of the same people calling for vengence were telling the Israelis to sit back and allow terrorist bombings to go on. Funny how things change when you are the one being bombed.

"We are going to stop them but will probably die...I Love you" This might need consideration for "quote of the week".

I'm not prepared to de-humanize our attackers by calling them pond scum. Chances are, they love their children just like we do. They can do this again and again and again, just like we can. The last thing we need is for this to spiral even further out of control. Let's THINK BEFORE WE ACT.

You have got to be kidding me. People who kill thousands of innocent American citizens cannot be identified as "pond scum?" If they loved their children so much, why'd they leave them fatherless? Cause they hate us more than they love their children. Yup, sounds like pond scum to me.

You have no credibility whatsoever.

You idiot!! Have a responsible immigration (security) system and watched borders, and maybe the people you sympathize with will not be able to kill us!!

And you got this from exactly what? From which post that I made do you assume that I sympathize with those who killed thousands yesterday. Are you psychic? I suspect otherwise...though you may be hearing voices.

You wept for the saving of a building--but not the massive loss of life? Get your priorities in order, buddy.

Look, 'buddy', the thousands of lives lost are horrifying, but I didn't know any of those people. I'm sure many of the firefighters and cops acted heroically, but that's their job in these situations, isn't it?

This struck me especially, not because some building was saved, but because of the unsolicited and virtually anonymous sacrifice involved. There's no telling how many lives were preserved at whatever the target was.

My heart is filled with sadness and at the same time pride for these heroic Americans.

Unfortunately, there are still some here, and many liberal, socialist, communist, democrats in this country that don't get it.

Unless retaliation is swift, sure, and FINAL, there will be no America in the future.

You will wake up each morning, every week, every month, every year from now on wondering when the next attack by fanatical islamics, arabs, and Palestinians will happen.

Your children will inherit fear and death instead of life and liberty.

Now is the time. Now is the time to rid the earth completely and finally of as many of these depraved maniacs as possible.

Hit Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan with nuclear weapons. Kill every man woman and child.

Their 'civilians' are NOT civilians, they are the next generation of hijackers, or suicide-bombers, or maniacal killers who will be set loose upon your children and your children's children!

Unless you want to live in a constant state of fear and make yourself vulnerable to terroristic attacks, then act swiftly with complete and overwhelming force to rid the earth of these vermin and their offspring. Vaporize these criminals, these sadists, these cowards.

Because the next time, perhaps next month, or next year, or five years from now or ten years from now, New York and other cities will be completely destroyed by nuclear explosions.

When 100 million are killed next time, you will think back to today and wish you had eradicated this plague upon the earth.,...that is if you are still alive!!

As I said yesterday to one of the idiots that wondered why the passengers on the other planes didn't fight back. This had never happened before. Before yesterday, the best way to deal with hijackers, statistically, was to cooperate. Once the passengers on the 4th plane found out their fate, via cell phone no doubt, they fought back as any of us would, and most likely gave their lives to save others. Those of you who critisized yesterday, and you know who you are, should be ashamed and ask God to forgive you now.

Yes Shooter, you are right. However, the Flight Attendant's are mandated to go into the cockpit once every half hour. They check on the well-being of the pilots--bring them coffee, food etc. This is especially essential on long flights. I think after this horror a lot of changes will be, must be made.

In the wee hours of morning the British TV reported that in their morning show, as well as the incident where Barbara Olson was ordered to call her husband back and tell him that they were going to die. Her last words were, "What should I do? What should I tell them and then they crashed."

We do have to bear in mind the adage that 'the first casualty of war is the truth,' and I will add that this is true and necessary. So, the stories will come out, but in dribs and drabs.

My husband predicted this yesterday while looking at the crash site outside Pittsburgh. He said to me: "The passengers did something on that flight."

Tell it to Jim Robinson, who asked that we WATCH DOUBLE POSTINGS. Apparently, you don't care, but some of actually like to access FR.
