The odds are that someone who gets this email has a family member or friend or knows someone else that does who was injured or even killed in today’s terrorist attacks. I knew a few people who live in New York City. My father used to work in the Pentago. A few years ago he passed away. He had been sick for several years. I knew it would happen. It was one of the worst things that ever happened to me. But I could not imagine what it would have been like if he had died suddenly and unexpectedly. Or worse if he had been murdered in a senseless act of voilence. It was bad enough being sad, but could not imagine what it would be like to be consumed with remorse and anger at the same time.

There seems to be nothing that we can do to make this situation better. However, we can offer our sympathy and prayers to those who have been hurt physically or spiritually from this incident and hope that helps them. You would be surprised how much it can.

We live in a violent world. People in Israel and Palestine live with this type of violence every single day of their lives. Whoever carried out this attack had to have planned for it for months or even years. They built a sophisticated infrasture to do it - planting employees inside of several airports and training at least 5 terrorist cells. They also had to coordinate all of these terrorist cells, devise a ways to communicate with them, and keep the operation air tight and hidden. This is no easy feat.

In the coming days people will have to pick through the rubble these men created and try to find survivors. Others will have to patch together their lives while the economic infrastructures that have been destroyed will have to be rebuilt. It is a time for people to come together to help one another recover and to try to find ways - hopeful peacefully if possible - to make sure this won’t happen again.

means that insurers are taking a huge hit

May be wrong but I think insurance policies exclude acts of war and the like from coverage?
