It is not correct to assume that, if only another had gone through the same experiences as you, they would agree with your opinions. There are many relatives of 9/11 victims arguing against the bombings, many arguing they should be enlarged, many still sorting it all out.
I believe it would also be incorrect to assume that no one else on this board of well-traveled persons has lost loved ones to terrorism, or seen its effects up close.
Not everyone here wants to advertise the ways in which they've been affected by the events in the past 6 weeks, but by discussing the aftermath we can try to sort out our feelings in a socially acceptable and productive way. It sure beats crying ouselves to sleep at night!

Artboy,
Well said, sir. Your post merits a serious response, but I must step out for my weekly Bible study (yes, I am serious and understand this might cause a feeding frenzy, but it is true).
I will edit this post, later.
I appreciate your gentlemanly and articulate response.
