Problem is right now, in my opinion, that the US public is enraged, as is the Us military. They will find someone to retaliate on. Even if that someone is not the right target. The second problem is, that if the US waits and researches and investigates who did this act of terrorism, they will most probobably (with all due respect) never find out. And that brings us to the first problem. American public and military just wont take that as an answer. It would mean defeat in the worst kind of way.
The next thing is, if the US strikes back, the people who did this won't take it as revenge. They wont say "Ah well, we did kill 20k of their people, now lets stop this stupid war" They will train more terrrorists and in 5 or so years, the US is gonna have more planes crashing down on important millitary and political towers. Atleast thats how im thinking.
The final thing is, the US should ask themselves why did this happen... was it some action in world politics that offended the people who did this terrible thing? and when u discover why, try to eleminate the cause rather than cure and revenge the consequences.
I see people saying they will kill 10k Palestinians (or whoever they think is guilty) for every US citizen killed. Are they not people too? It strikes me as odd that 20 million people would plan this terrorist act.
Well, i have already written more than it is good for me. My sympathies to all the victims and their relatives.
Peace.

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.
