Yup. This is sort of depressing. Yes, thats an understatement. Now all we need to do is find who did it and rip their throats out (figuratively speaking, preferably something more painful but with a similar result).

Bush has shown already that America will not stand down, he has sent a number of destroyers and frigates leaving the harbor.

9-11-01, 9:00 A.M. The World Trade Centre was attacked by a supposed terrorist group who had flown hijacked airliners into the twin towers and the Pentagon. May God be with those who died, were injured, and their families.
To do what? Just float around and do nothing? Who knows? As far as I'm concerned he just wants to appear that he knows what he's doing. Oh well, we should here from him in about 10 minutes or so on what he's going to do.

Originally posted by Muffy: I'm sorry, but as sick and disgusted as I am by what occurred today, don't think for one minute that we Americans are humiliated and incapacitated by the deeds of a few evil cowards, no matter what they do to this country, how many of us they kill, this country will stand, and stand proudly.
Typical American PRIDE. It's so pathetic, have any of you seen Wag the Dog?

I would generally agree with what excilius said, but in this case, i am inclined to wonder.
This is the first true attack on america since pearl harbor. Pearl Harbor, therefore, is one event constantly alluded to in relation to this horrid event.
I think that is a cruel, cruel message to japan. Pearl Harbor, that singular event, was an attack on american soil. However, it was also a strategic assault on a military installation. Not, and this is extremely important, NOT a cold-blooded attack on human - especially civilian - life, which is what we witnessed today.
The casualty report will be utterly atrocius. We will for months see the fallen's relatives moan before a candid nation. We will for years witness memorial services encouraging us all to 'remember where we were' when this occurred (spelling?).
From my point of veiw, this issue might well go two or three ways. We may see something in the spirit of what excilius said-- a scapegoat. On the other hand (and you've gotta remember, those pentagon dudes have enormous egos and 'american pride'), we may very well accually go for some terrorist groups.
And i think, frankly, that if you go for one, you're going for them all. Further, according to the rules of world policy, and America's idiot ideals on military might, we may well see countries proper drawn into a war, as well as further such assaults on american dignty.
A war it might well become - wars have certainly been faught for less than 10,000 lives, and a dent in the pride of a few generals.
You've also got to consider this: America cannot allow the world to consider itself malleable in any way. We MUST be the inpenitrable dynasty that we have been in previous years, and we must attain that respect on a world scene.
I don't even think it matters whether or not we ever accually find out whodunnit. There MUST be military retaliation on the middle east, no matter if ornery piglets or jingoist muslims piloted those jets.
You've also got to remember that this action was in the planning for possibly years. I can in no way see why a terrorist group would stop here. The US reaction is plausible, within certain bounds. You cant be sure that whoever did this wasnt planning something a little beyond that which we have seen thusfar.
I can't forgive myself. I was sleeping in Science at the time of the collision, sigh.
