: What I worry about now is the awesome power the US
: wields. They hold the power to start or prevent World

I will not lie to you. I beleave that if it takes a war against any state that harbors the animals who did this, than that is what it will take.
: I find HGK's disregard for the immense importance of

: far. Knowing that the USA, the very rock of democracy,
: is susceptible to such cowardly attacks gives me
: sleepeless nights.
I hope that you are all spared this kind of attack. I've met a few people from your country and every time I have found them likeable and friendly.

: after key victories in Europe.
I agree. Killing innocent people is unacceptable. But the difference between the fighting in ww2 was that it was a war for the future of the world. Victory ment world freedom for much of the world, defeat ment a fall into darkness.
If we must fight and kill for justice, than let it be. But I will not cheer the deaths that would occure on both sides. I will only cheer when we put these people before a court of law.
: I guess the point of this post is to get my fears out in

: (hopefully). Whilst I want the USA to punish the
: terrorists for what they did, I don't want them to get
: out of control and start a World War III. I intend to
: live my life to the full. I want to have kids, I want
: to get married and I went to see the world. I don't
: want the actions of some insane terrorists to ruin
: what chance I have to live a normal life.
I am 19 years old, I have just started my first year of collage.But if we have to fight to get justice, than I would quit and do what I could to help. If that ment dieing... well again, let it be.
: Wow, this post is long, and if you read it and got my
: point, then I've achieved my goal.
I share most of your views. I hope things will not get much worse, but have little hope. We should all pray, weather or not you worship God, Alla (sorry for spelling) or whatever. We are all in this togeather and staying united is the only way to pull any form of sanity out of this.

We are Americans. I've put forth simmiler statements before but I will do it again. Almost every one of us has a sence of justice and a desire for the rule of law. The principals that our country was built on ring in my ears.
"We hold these truths to be self eveident, that all men are created equal. And are endowed by their creator with certen inalianable rights among which are life, liberty and the persute of happiness."
There is more, so much more. And I have supream faith in these principals. It is almost religius, and I can not realy explain it.
My rage will not deprive me of these principals.
