Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.

This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far: - At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower. - Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that. - A bomb went off at the State Department. - Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate. - Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target. Words cannot express the horror.

I feel that all our thoughts and prayers should be with the survivors, loved ones or relitives, and people who weren't fourtanate enough to make it. First and formost we should lend a hand, and strive to over come this horrible matter. We however do not need to provoke the horrible innsane people who caused this act. If you rember high school history WWI was set off by the assasination of Franz Ferdinan, the Arch duke of Serbia. A fanatic killed him and that lead to Serbia declaring war. Allies were sucked in and the war became a great tragidy. If America were to start pointing fingers, which it already has unfourtanatly, it could cause another world war. This would just cause more destruction. As Albert Einstien said "War has never been the creative sollution to a problem." I understand the great anger does that mean we should go ballistic and start another World War impacting billions of people, leading to a cataclismic death toll?!?!? War is not the answer. Let America stand tall. Let us be the ones to not provoke. What if we wern't just some big, ethnocentric, bully all the time? What if all the other countries looked up to us for peace and help. Isn't that the world we all dream of? You may think what you want i am not telling you to not be upset, or saddend, but please don't try to cover bloodshed with more bloodshed. My heart goes out to those who knew or loved someone killed or seriously injured by this horrible event. My deepest symapthy for all of you. If you disagree i would be willing to discus this matter over a few e-mails please respond and post your e-mail one this thread.

Wake up stupid!!
If we sit on our asses and simply brush off the blood and dust, we will look like the weak little sister we almost became. We have no choice but to go after the evil that would kill people just because they work in a tower. If we don't retaliate hard, swift and complete, this is just the beginning. Do I think that going after these criminals will finish off the carnage in America? Of course not. We have not seen the last of this sort of thing. We will be attacked often. However if we simply say "war is not the answer" the freedom you now enjoy to tell the rest of us Americans how big of an idiot you are will be GONE.
We HAVE to send a message. I do not want war any more than you do. But these people have no love of life. That is painfully obvious as as many as 24 of them gave their lives for this attempt to bring us to our knees(which is what you want).
I hope and pray that we find the people/nations involved in this. I hope and pray that we obliterate them. I want no more loss of life. The only way to accomplish this, unfortunately, is to take life.
I cry when I see what has happened. I cry when a car bomb goes off in the middle east. I will cry when we attack and kill others. Then I will celebrate my continuing freedom that was brought about by that bloodshed. Just as it was 200+ years ago.
If you wish to respond, that is fine. But I have said my piece. And I do not think you have the inteligence to argue with me.

I do disagree with you, mainly because I had a friend who was one of the firefighters (the streets shall flow with the blood of the evil ********* but also because of the point you made of the other countries (you maid it seem like they're not) looking up to us for help thing. Email me a t1barret@aol.com and we'll go more in depth.
