    Post World Trade Center Tragedy...

    Today 2 planes where hijacked and flown in a kamakazi fashion into the twin World Trade Center Towers. This is a disgusting act of terrorism. Many people lost their lives, an unknown number at this time, but any number is too many. I am a pacifist in many instances, but I hope a severe and final retribution is enacted against the people brazen enough to commit such a disgusting crime. My heart goes out to the victims.
    Please share you feelings on this matter.

    my sympathies go out for all the person who have been hit by this cowardly way of an attack by terrorists. I hope the people over there will be strong and pull themselves through this time of tragic.

    we .. The Dutch people live with you, and are watching the news closely.

    Yes, I also think this was a terrible disaster. I can't believe someone could do something so stupid. So many innocent lives thrown away, because some people don't like America... People here in the Netherlands want to support America in this time of sorrow, some people have already left flowers at the American ambassador's office. We will support you, America!

    I think its bullshit too but I am not sad over it. Much worse things have happened. Did you hear CNN comparing this to Pearl Harbor?! Thats a little far-fetched. By the way, I think Osama Bin Laden had something to do with it.

    Far-fetched!?!? i think it is way worse than pearl harbor...An estimated 10,000 deaths isnt something to "not be sad over". I LIVE in manhattan. Your world wasn't rocked like mine was. I am in the marine reserves. If there is a war i hope to fight for my country.

    This is the kind of people America needs more of. Someone willing to do whats right in the face of disaster. Thanks bud.
    And Magus my man, this IS worse than Pearl Harbor. Its the first MAJOR attack on US soil of its kind, and its killed way more people. America is declaring this an act of war, so its also very likely that we will be going to war. So yeah, I do think its just as bad. And thanks for all the supporters posting here today. Its nice to know poeple from other countries are supportive of the US in such a tragedy. Thank you all.

    I too would like to express my deepest sympathies to those in America especially New York and Washington who have come close to their demise. I personally am also disgusted about what has happened like nearly everyone else in the world. Also about the amount of deaths. I think it is well over 10,000 people because there were over 50,000 people in and around the twin towers at the time so the fatalities count is going to be huge. Leo i envy your courage in this time of need because i am freaked out and i live on the other side of the world (Australia)! I would also like to add that Australia has already pledged its loyalty to America and will help them with anything they require. BTW Australia's Prime Minister (similar to a president just a different name coz we are a commonwealth) was in Washington when this tragedy happened because he was doing his national tour (for politics of course) but is ok.

    Anyway i pray that all people effected by this tragedy can find guidance by their God and stay strong.

    Another thing. About what Magus said. Did anyone hear about what is also going on in Kabul, Afghanistan. If you dont know about 10 hrs after the twin towers got hit there was a sort of civil war in the capital of Afghanistan with missiles blowing up buildings and all. Well Osama Bin Laden is in Afghanistan because his native country Saudi Arabia kicked him out. In Afghanistan there is this rule called the Taliban which is the Islamic Government. The Taliban disallows all forms of entertainment like music, tv, etc to give more time to pray. Well the Taliban government controls most of Afghanistan (everywhere but the north) and is trying to take it all over. This is causing huge amounts of refuges who are leaving Afghanistan and illegally going to places like America and Australia. Anyway Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban government have a grudge on America and capitalist countries in general. This could be the start of their revenge. BTW Osama Bin Laden is Americas most wanted person and has been for a few years.

    England has vowed to help all the American people who knew friends or family who where injured or killed in the terrorist attack. We can only say how sorry we are and we can only offer our heartfelt sympathies and help at this difficult time. Peace be with you, and rest in peace everyone who lost their lives in this terrible act. I just hope the American Government find out who committed this crime and give them what's coming for them. Peace be with you all.
