>>Mitch, Well said. I am sure Fred agrees as well. mike << To me, part of the tragedy promulgated by the WTC is that we are now feeling assaulted, as if our backs were up the wall. Even mild animals, like rabbits, will attack when cornered. I just visited the WTC for the second time and felt both grief and fury, Part of my grief was for the Afghans that will be killed unnecessarily, but overwhelmingly, the grief was towards those here and their families. I don't want my fury to dominated my thinking, and I think it is both reassuring and satisfying to know that we are powerful enough to annihilate these destructive nuts. However, we must keep perspective. In a way, we have lost a great deal when reasonable people seriously must consider nuclear destruction. Nuking, unfortunately, feels good to me, but when I convert this action from the abstract to the concrete and visualize innocent children and victims being scalded and radiated, I cringe. It is thinkable when there are no other survival alternatives. I do wnat focused efforts at getting both the people responsible and those that supported them. I also feel that they have abdicated all civil rights. fred
