I am five minutes up the street from the Pentagon, in Arlington. We also are getting reports of an incident at the Old Executive Office Building in DC. We are glued to our radios, TVs and computers. I’m not a praying man, but my thoughts are with the folks in NYC and the families of those injured and killed. ---

The palestinians are denying it now. It must have just been some crackpot who claimed for them. This is almost an invasion on the USA. I’ll second **TheLoadedDog** with {{{{{Americans}}}}}. ---

Well, if Clinton sent a few cruise missiles over embassy bombings in Sudan and Tanzania, I’ll lay pretty good odds that Bush will carpet bomb a few places over this. Well. Yeah. ---

I’m going to go home and watch CNN. I’m sure nothing else will be on the rest of the day. This is amazing! Today isn’t a significant day, hisotrywise, I don’t think. 9-11, though. Opal,…I accidentally got your uh, “other” cam…! ---

No commercial plane under control of the FAA is taking off. Stock exchange down. Government buildings burnings. Whoever they are just stopped all of America in 30 minutes. ---

I also just heard on the news that the President was supposed to get on Air Force One to fly back to Washington, but has now apparently been taken to a “safe location” somewhere in Florida. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick (sorry, Opal). If it is true that the Palestines are taking credit for this, we are looking at a fucking war. Shit, now I can’t stop crying. ---

This pacifist wouldn’t mind some serious military reprisals, as soon as we get some accurate info. Any country harboring those responsible is a hostile contry. Hope these ugly feelings pass. Tho what will replace them won’t be pleasant either. ---

I’m having some luck at the bbc site. [http://www.bbc.uk.co](http://www.bbc.uk.co) Give that a try. All US news sites are jammed jammed jammed I feel like such a wuss but I started crying a few minutes ago. Just frustrated with the state of the world. ---
