The huge black hole in the building looks like an open grave. I can't look at it without crying and I can not look away. People who used to ride the bus with me everyday are probably hurt or dead. Thousands of Americans have been slaughtered and the life I took for granted on September 10 is essentially dead as well. The men who planned and enacted the attack on America were fanatics.
Most people do all they can to avoid death.
These men reached out and embraced it like a lover. Life in America will go on but at an enormous price. We can either live as the Israelis do-never knowing when the next deadly attack will come or we can strike back. Neither of these choices is painless. Neither choice is neat and clean.
