In Remembrance

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.

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.

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.

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.
