CALM DOWN-We are at War.Now How do we decide who to fight and how to fight

Just an ole combat veteran | now | me

[A+Bert (Outta here)]

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

[SuziQ]

Hubby just suggested that we give blood. We're heading to our nearest Red Cross Center (our local hospital no longer has a blood donation center). They are going to need TONS of it folks. If you're feeling as angry, shaken and helpless as I am right now, PLEASE do something POSITIVE!! PRAY for all who were killed and injured, I shudder to think how many were still in those buildings when they went down. And GIVE BLOOD AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND SPREAD THE WORD!!

We were in the middle of a Math lesson with our homeschooled kids when I heard of the first plane. I went to turn on the TV and had the kids come to watch. That's when we saw the video of the second plane(Pray also for those poor folks on the hijacked airliners-How in the WORLD was THAT allowed to happen, anyway?) Then as we were watching, it looked like a building next door exploded and I told my daughter, "The Trade Center just collapsed!" And sure enough, that is what had happened! Then as we watched longer, the second tower came down. Nothing like watching History being made live; I told them this was their homeschooling for the day.

Anyway, we're out the door to give blood; everyone go and do the same!!

Yassir Arafat's reign must end...MUD

I just heard Yasser Arafat express 'shock' at this terrible tragedy. Yeah, right.

Cordially,

[KneelBeforeZod]

the planners will probably hide in france

[Faraday]

Let's find out where we can donate blood. It will be needed.

[BlueLancer]

"We piss them off too much, we get no oil. Without oil the USA collapses."

And when we don't buy their oil, when we blockade their ports, when we target their derricks and oil distribution systems, they eat sand ... if not worse.

Let's see who cries "Uncle" first.

[piasa]

Agreed... they just had old 'Asserfat' on there and he looked as shocked and SCARED as any American. Methinks he's not in on the loop that conjured up this one but he has a pretty good idea his arse in on the line now.

[Revolting cat!]

Ah, but this war by other means now. No country has declared war against the US. No country will. For all we know, these "folks", to use our President's unfortunate term, come from an ahem, "friendly" nation. We have no Nagasaki's to bomb here. What to do? Bomb another aspirin factory? This war by other means against the US has been going for how long now, 30, 40 years? William F. Buckley and others have long advocated establishing an international strike force with a mandate to find and eliminate terrorists. Has anyone listened?

[Catspaw]

How does it feel that US Citizens took casualties, albeit many are innocent, just like the Serbs were illegally attacked and bombed. You feel the pain of the Serb who suffered right now, dont you? Doesnt feel very nice, either right? That feeling of despair hit again this morning when I saw needless deaths caused by unknown elements.

Despair? Hell, no. We're pissed. And you don't know pissed until you have seen the citizens of the United States pissed.

[Walkin Man]

Thats RIGHT! Arafat better start running NOW and never stop! That scum either caused this act of war or he knows who did it! HE SHOULD DIE ASAP!

[the808bass]

You should go into immediate therapy for your extreme problems. Please do not post nonsense such as this again. You seem to be intimating that the President is involved in this attack. You are an idiot. I was going to come up with a longer insult, but you're just an idiot.

[CubicleGuy]

This is probably just stating the obvious, but these are the acts of people who believe that they are on the receiving end of a great deal of injustice, and that they have nothing to lose by making a statement in this very public way. These are desperate people who feel that they have been ignored. If they continue to feel ignored, there will be further repetitions in the future of what happened today.

I doubt that we're ever going to find out exactly who is responsible for this stuff. Not to the point where any meaningful retaliation is going to be able to take place. The United States of America is extemely reticent to involve innocent life in any retaliatory efforts.

[SUSSA]

We need this picture all over NY!

[FITZ]

None of us knows who did this. Be careful of those who insist they should decide for you.

I agree.

[wattsmag2]

Bomb Kabul, bomb Baghdad, bomb Tripoli, and then bomb Damascus. Destroy all military bases in those nations. Assassinate all known terrorists on sight.

[Publius6961]

Folks, we don't know for a fact who did this

Are you suggesting we have a 2-year investigation?

Terrorist training camps define their purpose, and guilty in this instance or not, this is a good reason to wipe them all out now, beyond possibility of rebuilding.

We can destroy the host country at out leisure once we can determine who or why or where.

[Libertina]

May God help guide our President through this unspeakable evil attack. My prayers are offered for the families of victims, may we FINALLY as a NATION come together - 8 years of treason, sell-out by bill clinton has brought us to this point. May our servicemen and women who are now called to put thier lives on the line be filled with the courage needed to fight. May God save our beloved country and bring patriots together.

[the808bass]

Folks, we don't know for a fact who did this. And if one can envision any one group willing to do something this vile to make a point, one must accept the possability of ANOTHER group willing to do something this vile to make the first group look bad.

And we must also accept the possibility that the easiest answer is the correct answer. And that no matter what evidence to that effect is produced, there will be people who will not believe that evidence because it doesn't fit their view of the world.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

What happened to the so called Israeli Intelligence sources.

Don't you remember? Clinton managed to turn the tide......Israel is the bad guy, the Palestinians are the victims.

I put my flag out, I've said my prayers. All I can do now is watch and wait. But I'll tell you this...when the final casualty numbers are out, Pearl Harbor will look like a day at the park.

No emergency in Houston - these three bldgs are sending their folks home - NO Emergency in Houston thou
