Val,

Insanely brave could be an accurate description of Japanese kamikaze pilots, who flew through withering tripleA to hit legitimate military targets... not these people. These people commandeered unarmed airplanes and flew them into undefended targets, only one of which could be described as military. The World Trade Center Towers never fired a shot in their defense.

These acts were cowardly.

Sorry to disagree - I love your passion in this situation, and feel the same way - I hope Bush realizes this is absolutely an act of war.

The failure of any response to the USS Cole attack has, doubtlessly, emboldened these people.

Eric

These are not military people fighting other military - they are civilians, too --- and they are attacking their enemy --- which is just as much you and me and any American baby in a stroller as it is a US soldier. THAT is what we must all understand, beginning with the President. This is not a military war on the part of the instigators and they will not fight it as such. We cannot look for an army to strike out at now - the crowds of civilians in the streets in Palestine cheering this victorious attack are the ENEMY - it is from them, the civilians, that this attack sprang forth against American civilians.

It is beyond the comprehension of civilized people, but it is what those cretins live and die for.
