    Well, that day I came home. My mum was talking in the phone (not related to that) and I was looking TV. I started to pass the channels, all the news channels we had were broadcasting such thing. Of course, some where exxagerating the thing (curse the sensasionalists). I asked my mum why it was so important, and she told me that it was important because that was a attack. I did not realize why... I do now. Looks like when we are too young we are too innocent, being part of the world, but at the same time, being outside of the "Politic" world.
    We grow, and we start to get inside it.

    It doesn't matter how in are we in the political world. But that day it did. There aren't any victims that deserved it. They were common people. Did it really had to happen?

    God bless the souls of those people.

    A terrible day. May the families find peace.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    God bless America. Let us hope, among the elections and issues, our resolve will never break.

    What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.

    -Robert E. Lee

    My sincerest condolences to those innocent who died in the attacks, and those innocent who have died in retribution.

    I was 11 wow. I remember exactly what I was doing I remember that whole day
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Yeah. Kennedy shot. King killed. Kennedy shot. First baby born. Tehran hostages returned. Second baby born. 9-11.

    All singular days in my life (among a few others), every second of which I recall with absolute clarity. Where I was. What I was doing, Who said what...

    The horror. The glory. And the horror again.

    May God bless and keep those dear departed innocents, and hold their loved ones in the palm of his merciful hand. And may he show the rest of us the way to peace and resolution.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    One of the nicest and most meaningful things I read for a long time. Understanding that innocents are innocents no matter who's side they're on takes a lot of guts. I don't think that I could have put it better if I tried for the next twenty years, so I'm just going to quote you.
