Well, I'm still stunned by the audacity of these terrorists. I was sifting through the ShackNews's discussion forum and noticed a couple of interesting points, and more rumours. I don't think there was this much death and destruction on US soil since Pearl Harbour. Furthermore, it's just shocking that the planes that crashed were full of people! A quote from chunks:
This attack is of the scale that people won't ask "did you know someone that was killed" but instead "how many people did you know?"
Over 15000 casualties. Madness.
I hope cooler heads prevail. Retalliation based on anger will only continue the cycle of violence and there can only be more suffering. The people should seek justice. Not vengence.
But this was bound to happen eventually. Everyone thought about it, movies suggested it, people ignored it. What is the price of freedom? Eternal vigilance. This is the price of failure.

2403 people were killed at Pearl Harbour. This is the worst act of war on American soil since the Civil War.
