The pictures are…sickening. Much of Manhattan surrounding the towers is engulfed in smoke/dust from the collapse of the tower. ---

If Pearl Harbor was enough of an excuse for us to get into the action during WWII, the USS Cole, and these latest bombings are more than enough IMO for us to go in and level most of the mideast and those damned foolheaded terrorists. ---

I saw it live on ABC just a couple of minutes ago. THe southern WTC tower just collapsed. It almost looked like a building demolition. The ENTIRE tower is gone. I’m hearing a report the a third plane might have been hijacked. ---

According to CNN, one of the towers of the trade center just collapsed. I don’t really know what to think, or feel–the loss of life is staggering. I hope we find the fuckers responsible for this and…hell, I don’t even know what. ---

This is unbeleivable. My heart goes out to all of those people injured or killed (and their families) in these attacks. You can bet your ass someone is going to pay for this one. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t let this completely immobilize you. That is what the terrorists want to happen. As difficult as it is, we must keep going. ---
