I was home on maternity leave. I sat in front of the TV with a little baby and wondered what kind of horrible world have I brought a child into. I remember watching people in the windows of the burning buildings. They were waving things to get the attention of rescuers. As I watched them small pieces of the building began to crumble away. The camera pulled back and within seconds the first tower came down. All I could think of was those people I was just watching only seconds before. I looked at my new baby and cried thinging, we are going to war!
