Yes I did -- but I didn't know about Free Republic then (I wish I did -- I was VERY alone in an assignment in Texas while my wife was in California.

He was wrong then and such thoughts and statements are wrong now.

I've seen some posts on this thread suggesting that the post wandered off topic.

Please allow me to remind everyone that I got upset because the implication or statement about this being some kind of punishment from God (for WHATEVER REASON) is wrongheaded, insluting and repugnant to all right thinking people. I may have been vitrolic but then these right-fascists start backing up in their statements and I look the fool.

MY point was that this kind of extremism is what is behind Al Qiada, the Taliban and other atrocities committed in God's name.

God has these brave souls in his arms and the "sinfullness" of the US has nothing to do with what happened today. Please pray for their families.
