You are a sad man.

Without getting involved in the nonsense of above in a thread that is specific in it's title and content, I too shall never forget the day that was 9/11/01.

As a relative newcomer to the US and watching/listening to the events of that day unfold in real time, I can honestly say I dont think I have ever been as frightened in my life. I cant imagine how much worse it was for those on the planes, in the buildings, and on the ground who witnessed this unprovoked attack with their own eyes.

Here is to hoping that such an event never ever happens again, but with the lunatics running around and murdering people in the name of fanaticism, i dont like those chances much.
