Thelma, what a beautiful picture! It's so sad how different the skyline is going to look from now on. A constant reminder of the terrible tragedy that has ocurred... I've only been to NY once, while my sister was attending college at NYU. She lived right there in Manhattan only a couple of blocks from the WTC. I can see her apartment building in that picture you posted!

Maresche, your friend's father is in our prayers...this thing has affected so many worldwide. It's really a neat thing to see everyone come together since this has happened! Hearing about the support from our friends in England from Carrie's post was so moving.
Edwina's, I know what you mean!! It's really sad that there are muslims and people of arabic descent that are getting hate mail and such right now...even though they are really just as much as an amierican as we are, and I'm sure they're just as horrified at this incident as we are...The only difference is that they had to work to get here, which is a big accomplishment. They chose to come to America...the land of the free...
I heard on the radio this morning that a trash bag full of what they think is pig's blood, was thrown at a Muslim center here in CA. We need to stop this insanity and not put blame on people because of their descent, origin, or religious beliefs!! I agree....just because these terrorists are from a certain place or of a certain ethnic background...not all the people from there are bad people. It's bad to make assumptions, and assume that others are at fault. After all, you're right...it was an American that conducted the Oklahoma bombing!! So, that would mean that all American white males are bad. This is stupid! We need to stand together against the real enemy...and show we will not tolerate this attack on our great nation!
