Wow. I just got back to work today and had a chance to read this thread and was thoroughly stunned and disappointed by a lot of the reactions to 9/11. I, personally, will never "get over it" as some people have stated. I was on a plane with my wife on Sept 11/2001, going from Detroit to Las Vegas for our honeymoon. Our plane landed in Albequerqe (sp?) New Mexico and when we got off, we were told what happened. I remember walking through the terminal with my wife to get to our airlines desk to find out what to do and we stopped at the bar to see CNN. When we saw what happened we were stunned beyond words. To make a long story short, we met three fellow travellers all going to Vegas, so we rented an SUV and drove ourselves. It ended up being the highlight of our trip and we are still friends with our three American travellers, even though they are all our parents age and we don't have much in common. You can't compare this to any other episode in the world right now (Sudan), its unfair. And don't give me the "Chechyn's targeted children" crap, look at it in simple terms of loss of life. I will never look at the middle east the same and I don't really care what anyone thinks about that, its a plain and simple fact. I was directly affected that day and it will stay with me and my family forever. Whoever has the nerve to say get over it, needs to re-start their heart and give their head a shake.
