Thanks fer sharing yer Prescience with us, my FRiend.
I told one of the people we met at the sailing conference that my emotions about 9/11 range from "really pissed" to "nuke 'em," depending on the day, if the Taliban/al Qaeda/bleeding heart mush-brained liberal does or says something truly stupid--or if I think about BCM, Barbara Olson and the others who were murdered by the terrorists, their families and friends who will have an empty place on this Thanksgiving and all of those empty places and empty hearts for decades to come. I rarely cry anymore, but from time to time, the tears are just below the surface--when I read this thread, remembering the shock and horror, when I think about all of those who died in those stupid senseless acts, when I think about those who are defending our nation and in harm's way...and I get angry all over again.
I wish I had been wrong about bin Laden. I wish we could go back to 9/10. I wish that bin Laden and al Qaeda and all those who help them and support them are crushed, destroyed, and that they know the grief, fear and anger we feel--and to cry over a lost son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, friend, as we did and still do.
Life is getting back to normal, but nothing will ever be the same again.
Yup...MUD
