Peaceguy,
Your response is that of a wimp. Don't preach Peace to me, try talking to
someone in New York.

In regards to yesterday's tragedy,
Palestinian's dance in the streets celebrating our tragedy.

"Osama bin Laden thanked All mighty Allah and bowed before him when he heard
this news," Jamal Ismail, Abu Dhabi Television's bureau chief in Islamabad,
said, quoting a close aide of bin Laden's. Ismail said the aide, whom he
wouldn't identify by name, called him early Wednesday on a satellite telephone
from a hide-out in Afghanistan.
bin Laden has repeatedly called on Muslims worldwide to join in a jihad, or
holy war, and has declared war on the United States in religious edicts faxed
to the outside world. All U.S. citizens are legitimate targets, he has said
(perhaps you should go meet with him and talk about peace)

Wishing and praying that Evil will go away just doesn't work. Our Great
Country just got kicked in the groin and any country that supports terrorism
against the US should suffer the consequences. We should make it clear by our
actions, that their entire country will suffer.

You have your freedom because many brave men and women  gave their lives
fighting (not praying) for it. After yesterday, we will never have it the same
again. It is now that we should tell our leaders to let the World know we are
not wimps, and that attacks against us will not go unpunished.

whose Dad fought beside MacArthur, told me about what he lived thru and helped
make this Country free

  Just like Oklahoma City, our first reaction is to target the Arab World,....
just shows how prejudiced we are,... we should be looking at the who,... not
the religion and race.
  I would bet we will be targeting Afghanistan,.... unfortunately if we do and
find out it was someone else who knows what will happen,..

  May Peace Prevail On Earth,

    In my heart I have sorrow,
    Perhaps like you, I just can't describe how I feel about today's tragedy.
    I will pray for the victims, their family's and friends.
    (except the cowards that piloted those planes, because by now surely they
are in Hell)
    I also pray that we will find a way to prevent future tragedy's.

    In my mind I have Anger,
    I believe if we are at war, then we (Americans) are all at war and that
includes me.
    If we had allowed MacArthur to push on, we wouldn't have had the problems
with the Russians.
    If then President Bush would have allowed Schwartzkoff to push on to
Baghdad, perhaps we would have sent a clear message to the Arab World.
    When our enemies target "collateral damage" we should not pussy foot
around to avoid that possibility in our retaliation.

    Pray for the unfortunate victims of today's events, but.....
    Send a message to our leaders that this time, do the job right, the whole
job.
