My thoughts on our worst hour

[funkoram]

I live right across the river and I saw everything today live. This is the most emotionally taxing day I have ever had as I have scrambled around and sat in traffic all day, glued to the radio, trying to find any way to help(volunteer, blood, etc.).

This is the worst day in America's history, Pearl Harbor pales in comparison. We had our major political and financial landmarks, the foundation of our countries ideals, attacked. We have been attacked on the continental US people. None of you feels safer than you did yesterday. I lost my sheltered feeling today, wondering if I was next when I go to school or the next time I go to Manhattan. Shit, I was interviewing for a job 5 blocks away last week, I easily could have been there.

The numbers are rolling in: 800 at the pentagon, between 100-200 from the plane crashes, maybe thousands in the WTC. What does this due to our economy? Will we get accustomed to fighter planes patrolling the skies over major cities? How long will it be until you feel safe boarding a plane again?

I wish there were a peaceful way to resolve this, but I keep having a recurring image of the Palestinians celebrating in the streets as if they won the fucking World Cup, shouting God is good. Where you hi-fiving your friends during replays of our bombings in the Gulf War. These cowards only understand one language:Force. These people don't fight you face to face, they stab you in the back.

Remember this day people, the mirage is over

i think the whole magnitute has not set in for a lot of people. this is the worst thing to ever happen to america. it deserves a response of disgustingly cold, deadly and huge brutality. a demonstration of our pure might and our undying love for ourselves before anything else. i see those sick worthless pukes celebrating and i say we should bomb them for the principle of it. there is nothing that can be done to them that i would ever say shouldnt have been done. i say tell our military its time for target practice on any terrorist country of their choosing.

I think the civil war was the worst this to happen to america. Millions died in a long and ugly war.

it was only bad for the south and i dont care about the south.

 

[karde]

it was bad for both.

 

[TheMasturbator]

it was really only bad for the south in the long term. but thats probably gonna be true of todays disaster.

For Gods sakes who the fuck cares about the civil war. we are in the midst of a crisis of huge proportions. nothing will ever be the same. i hope they draft me so i can kill some indians. fuck, i almost grabbed the closest palestinian and really hurt him today when i saw the towers collapse. nothing, and i mean nothing will ever compare to this. And i fear that all of our anger and rage will only dissipiate as we find that there is no one to blame.

As tragic as the civil war was, this is far more disturbing. These are foreigners who were able to the amount of damage that they did in a cold, brilliantly precise attack on OUR LAND.

THOSE PLANES MAY HAVE WELL BEEN GUIDED MISSLES, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. THIS IS NOT AN ACT OF TERRORISM, THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR, AN ACT WHICH WE HAVE BEEN THREATENED WITH FOR A WHILE.
