Hey long, where in Colorado are you? I live in Lakewood, work in Denver. If you are in or near Denver, I'm sure you are familiar with the "cash register" building in downtown. I believe it is 55 stories tall, exactly half the height of the WTC. I cannot imagine how it looked and sounded to be near those when they went down. My heart cries for all those who suffered losses in NY and I pray the worst is behind us.

Easy

know your enemy. If your go after Afghanistan, you might win the war but it will not be because they are afraid of fighting or dieing. The Russians learned that more recently.

" I saw an attack by the Gurkhas one day. These brave little men from Nepal attacked the Germans with a ferocity I've never seen and I’d hate to have been on the receiving end of their attack. But even the Gurkhas could not make the Germans budge and their commanding officer called off the attack because the Gurkhas were taking to many casualties, but the Gurkhas ignored this order and continued to attack. Their blood must have been really up. In the end the Gurkha officers stopped sending supplies up to the forward Gurkha troops in a desperate effort to make them pull back. This worked and what was left of the Gurkha Battalion retreated back down the mountain."
