Whenever innocent lives are taken, be it 1, 100 or 50,000, it is a horrible thing for me to comprehend. And I'm sure you're right, this is an action that terrorist factions the world over will celebrate with glasses raised. Sad indeed.
But I find myself thinking this morning that when we retaliate, and we most certainly will, and the people repsonsible for these henious acts go into hiding among their countrymen, how many lives of innocent men, women and children will be lost in our attacks against them?
This is a sad day and I'm afraid there are more to come.
akc, I didn't remember hearing mention that you were having surgery. I hope everything turns out well.

> I know we have been lucky in the U.S., but this is terrible. Terrorists attacks, wherever they occur, always sadden me. But to fly airplanes into buildings holding 40,000 people -- and causing one to collapse (I'm sure a goal of the terrorist) -- I'm sure the terrorists of the world will salute this act. I've always felt another's pain pretty deeply. I need to make sure this does not trigger me -- my t is going out of town, I'm having surgery, but this is awful -- I'll never understand why anyone thinks death brings answers. I'm terrible saddened, terribly saddened.
