To England.
On September 11th, 2001 I remember every last detail of what went on that day. After hearing about the attacks from a co-worker, I turned on the TV and watched in horror as the second plane struck the towers, and a third plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. I remember feeling helpless, scared, angry, and confused.
Thousands of innocent people of all nationalities went to work just like any other day, and would never return home. That day, I hoped and prayed that there would never be another day like that day.
Something else also happened on that day, and the days that followed. Stores began selling out of US Flags. People began wearing the colors of the country with pride. Chants of USA! USA! Could be heard anywhere there were more than a dozen people. This country became truly united again. We were united against any that would commit such a horrible act.
Today, Your country has come under attack. More innocent people will not be returning home. More families will be without Mothers, Fathers, Sons, and Daughters. Millions more are feeling the same horrors that I felt on 9/11.
Today, and the days that will follow, your stores will be selling out of flags, and your people will be proud to be wearing the colors of their country. Your country will become truly united again. United against any that would commit such a horrible act.
Your a proud country, with proud citizens. And you have every right to be proud. It, and all your people will persevere, and become stronger, and more united than ever.
So to all of you who are going through this horror, my thoughts and prayers are with you. But I have no doubt you and your country will survive this attack, and your resolve will be doubled.
God be with you all.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] X626 My father was across the street from the WTC on 9/11. That was a very long afternoon waiting to hear he was okay. My thoughts are with our english cousins. As a side note to terrorists everywhere: You are an embarrassment to humanity, because your fanaticism is an insult to human life. You are an embarrassment to your "religion", because no muslim I know condones the loss of innocent life to further one's own selfish political goals. Lastly, you are an embarrassment to all intelligent life, because by attacking us, you only makes us stronger - the british and american people were speaking out against their respective governments demanding to know when our troops were returning home. Now the general populance of both countries will redirect their frustration from our respective governments back to the terrorists (to whom it should be directed at anyway - but that's another tirade). You, the terrorists, have only succeed in reminding the general population that you are cowards, and your cause is evil and a slap in the face of humanity. Well done, you, the terrorists, are doing more to help your enemies than you are in helping your cause. Truly you are the most pitiful excuse for a human being, and I pity your existence and I take great joy in knowing each and everyone of you will die painful deaths.[/quote] HOORAH!
