I stayed home all yesterday and watched the TV from 6 am to 10pm. I sat in my bed last night thinking for hours on what had happened. Monday, I had no desire to go into the armed forces and die. Today, the only things holding me back is my age and education. I was always a mediocre patriot, but now i am so saddened and angred by these events that I realize how grateful I should be for living in this country. My views on life had changed. Thousands of people woke up yesterday, got dressed, ate breakfast, and headed off for a normal day at work. Families woke up early to get pictures infront of a famous symbol of New York for there friends back home. Business men and women took off in planes they thought were destined for meetings, or family. Little did they know that they would die, or come so close to death. Monday I did not want to die for my country. Today, I would be willing to die for those thousands of people who died yesterday, who died today, who are dying now and will die tomorrow. Those responsible will pay....

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.
