Prayers for directly hit families, and our country. ...

I agree with those here and some very influential people interviewed on national TV today that those responsible in any way (likely Bin Laden's army and his hosts in Tohola/Taliban in Afganistan) should be taken out; whatever that takes. Get it done this time, as we almost did in Irak in '91; but don't stop short of the terrorist leaders as we did Hussein - go ALL the way this time. ...

Better preperation is badly needed everywhere. Don't wait until after something like this to put bulletproof locking doors on airline flight crew's cabins. Pre-think out every possible scenario, targets of significants and any way they could be attacked, and spend the dollars to get them protected before they are hit! This is something that will be here as long as less fortunate countries carry hate and deadly resolve for vengence; yet enough money to carry on terrorism (much longer than any of our lifetimes and likely children's lifetimes). Of course that encompasses the entire Middle East, but others places as well. This country needs to tighten it's belts a bit of luxuries and spend it on security! The opposite of what Bush and the Rep.s did by lowering the U.S. budget capability (leaving us very vulnerable), by giving billions of dollars of tax money back to the upper echelon of the wealthy. Someone in a high place of influence needs to tell those ultra greedy people that they won't much enjoy spending their huge wealth among ashes and poisons; and resulting ruined economies!!! Now they need to raise taxes again to build the military and enact massive efforts against terrorism; progressively taxed, or the countries already sagging economy goes down the toilet. If Bush is a good President he will get after what has to be done, now - massively and comprehensively!
