Scott, Hi!! RE: Watching the people and trying to gauge the heartbeat of the city, I wondered, what would happen if New York City were to suffer another attack on the scale of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks? We may have won a war in Afghanistan, but who can doubt that the terrorists who mean us great harm are concentrating their every effort on another attack? There is no way to plumb the depths of hatred in the minds of bin Laden types for what America is and what America represents. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in the destruction of buildings and innocent lives last year. We have to expect that they are plotting an even more crippling strike. Precisely why I'm in favor of striking first and in favor of the original Bush statement concerning terrorists and harboring terrorists...After teaching school for toooo many years and seeing thousands of kids I judge the sickness of these terrorists from one photo of that 12 year old Palestinian girl who decides to strap explosives on her body to kill someone Jewish in a supermarket...That girl was gorgeous...Had her whole life ahead and yet her hatred was so consuming she pulls the cord and exits this world...It's them or us... Best, Kemble
