 This is why our military does what it does. If it prevents the human filth from getting away with causing shit like this, I say it's money well spent.
I cant really express my true feelings about the people behind this but I am sure most of you all have the same feelings.

What a terrible day. Sometimes when they're doing a television history piece on it, or radio playback of the day it happened, I still don't want to relive it.

Wait, why are we in Afghanistan again? Oh, never mind......the stomach-less American people have short memories.

It really tweaks on the heart strings. When I went to NYC last year I walked past a couple of station houses while out and about in midtown. The tribute plaques on the walls made me feel very sad. RIP to those in the photos. I'm sure glad our country bagged OBL. Honestly, it still doesn't feel like it's enough. |

That's why it pissed me off when I heard Presbo say yesterday, "Muslims died on 9-11, too". Yeah how about the 20 motherfuckers that perpetrated it, you think!!!??? Yeah, let's remember those fuckers.

Nothing can prevent people hellbent on killing from killing, in a free country.
That said, kill everyone involved, their parents, siblings, and pets. And piss on their graves. |

I first learned of the attack on arfcom. Was at work, I usually surfed for a bit to get the day started. Posts started flooding in, switched on the tv we had and followed it the rest of the day. Strange, surreal day. It brought home to America that the world is a dangerous place, that we really do need to think horrible thoughts because that's exactly what the bad guys are doing. A tragic, horrible kick to our collective nuts.

They need to feel the legal fire, and also the real fire that they stoked. I think you could explain your feelings a bit further. Leaving it at "I am sure most of you all have the same feelings." is a bit vague... |

A long, and very well-written, article in Esquire Magazine about that day, the photograph, the photographer, and attempts to identify the victim.
A poignant read, but well worth your time. The Falling Man by Tom Junod |

Having been in and out of those buildings as a kid, then seeing the hole in the ground where they used to be is one of the most moving experiences I have ever had. Words cannot express my anger rage. |

What the jumpers must have been going through in order to make that decision...
Something else that will make your teeth clench is the audio of Kevin Cosgrove making that 911 call from inside the tower..he's on the phone with the operator when the tower drops out from under him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbOzSeu6sJA |
