Worlok-
You are not alone in your feelings. I have come home every night this
week and held my 11 week old daughter as close as I can. I have watched
on TV and cried my eyes out. And I have seethed with rage and hate as I
consider how many innocent lives were changed forever.
Finally, I am waiting for the announcement that the attack is underway.
I truly hope that Mr. Bush is telling the truth, that this will be a
long process, that we will use all available force, and that we will not
stop until the entire terrorist network has been ripped up and
destroyed. I have a brother and brother in law in the armed forces.
One is a Ranger, and both have their Airborne wings. Both are probably
going to see action when this gets underway. I have spoken to both, and
they both recognize the importance of winning this war, and both are
willing to risk their lives to defend our country. So, please... pray
for our soldiers, weep for the victims, and seek out the vengeance we so
richly deserve.

I'm a big guy who seldom cries. Well, I've been shedding some real
tears lately, usually when I'm alone watching news coverage and seeing
the people left behind, clutching photos of missing loved ones, because
it is all they have left.
What gets me the most, however, is hearing about the children of the
victims.
Do people realize that some kids lost BOTH parents in the disaster??
How completely horrible!
My wife's cousin John, who lives in Queens, lost a close friend who
worked at Cantor Fitzgerald, the (bond trading?) company that lost
EVERYONE who was in the offices that were directly hit by one of the
airliners. I have been watching the CEO, Mr. Lutnick, who was spared
b/c he took his child to first day of kindergarten. That man is always
crying, and he is clearly suffering from survivor guilt. He lost his
brother as well, who called him from a corner office as it filled with
smoke. He said the median age of his employees is only 33 years old,
and MANY of them were young men with wives and young children, or
pregnant wives, at home. He is starting a foundation b/c even though
the insurance company is offering another $35 mill by treating it as an
accidental death, divided 700 ways that only like $50k per affected
family. He is starting a foundation to help "his" stricken families,
since no insurance amount can even begin to help.
My sister-in-law ran into a woman from her church who personally knows a
family where the kids have been waiting for BOTH mommy and daddy to come
home, and they haven't. Another woman was talking on the news about how
she lost her husband and her 4 and 5 year olds know that daddy is in
heaven, and they wanted to know why they couldn't call him on his
cellphone to talk to him.
Does it EVER end??
I guess it affects me so strongly b/c I became a father myself so
recently, and when I look at my little 17 mo. old son, who the morning
of the MASS MURDER was gleefully playing with his toys in front of the
TV set b/c he is too young to know what it all means, or even what
happened. I grieve for the children who are old enough to know and for
the ones who are too young to know what they have lost.
I hope the terrorists' allah is happy. I say the terrorists' allah so
as to seperate out genuine Muslims, who denounce such murderous acts.
The terrorists' allah is a false god, and they are cowardly hypocrites.
On the news last night the mgr of a motel where some of them stays told
of how they covered up a painting in their room b/c it showed the back
of a woman with her shoulders showing and the backs of her legs. He
said they were hypocrites b/c they then would hang out on their balcony
staring a bikini clad guests who were swimming in the pool. THAT should
be publicized the world over, especially in the middle east, to show the
people there that their so called "freedom fighters" are a bunch of
fakes. Please take that part and pass it on to EVERYONE so they all
know what a hopeless bunch of phony coward murderers this bunch was.
I hope they are in a cold dark pit of torment at this very moment, being
forced to feel the pain of each and every victim both dead and alive. I
hope the other evil lost souls are biting and tormenting them in this
dark hellish pit. I hope they are made to feel the pain of being burned
alive in a jet fuel furnace for an eternity.
I hate that this is what I want of God, but this is what I ask of the
real God.
