This morning at 06:30 my cell phone has received around 15 SMS messages reading: "Lets pray for the USA and her people, please send this to a few friends." And still they are pouring in. This is one chain letter I dont mind sending along. Please know that all civilized people are united against such barabarism and we feel with the US.

Perhaps you should pray for those that perpetrated this. They're gonna need it.

On board that flight that crashed in rural Pennsylvania, in the last moments of their lives, at least 3 men fought to regain control of the airplane. They managed to divert the flight from its intended target...the White House...and crash it into an open field. By this sacrafice of their lives and the lives of all of the other passengers, the act of terrorism was thwarted, the White House was saved and possibly the Vice President was spared.
I would like to see Congress award the highest civilian medals of valor to those three men and every other loyal passenger on that flight for their sacrafice.
What are your thoughts on this?

John, definitely. And as I posted elsewhere, why not award the Purple Heart to all the victims? There aren't any civilians anymore. If the island of Malta deserved the George Cross, certainly New York City deserves to be honoured as well.
