To lighten the mood (which includes an increasing bad feeling in the pit of my stomach), your image reminded me of a joke that made the rounds not long after 9-11. Pres. Bush and Bin Laden meet up at a coffee shop. Bin Laden says to Bush, "I had a beautiful dream last night. In all your major cities, banners were flying from the buildings, and they all read, 'Long Live Osama. Hail Allah.'" Bush replied to Bin Laden, "You know, I had a similar dream. Throughout the great Islamic cities of the Middle East, including Mecca, there were banners flying from all the buildings and mosques.' Bin Laden then asks Bush, "What did the banners say?" Bush replies, "I don't know. I can't read Hebrew."
