If the government has a fund set up, all victims should not be allowed to sue, period. The World Trade Center Crisis was a horrible disaster. But the victims, should not become rich over this. I lost my spouse with two small children to raise. I receive social security benefits and I feel very blessed. I know you can never have enough money. However, money cannot replace the people killed by the terrorist. The red cross has received millions if not billions and where is that money going? I guess what I am trying to say is: If these people get social security benefits and maybe some small lump settlement they should consider themselves blessed. Unfortunately, life is not fair. We need to spend tax payer money on beefing up the military and other projects that benefit the nation as a whole. Get this economy going! This may be a long battle.

No matter how you look at this it was a disaster, just like an earthquake, hurricane, tornado, etc. Yes, it was man made, but lawsuits are not the answer. The lawyers need to stay out of it!


You may think I am cold. But I am probably in the top 10% of the most patriotic citizens in the US. I have had family fight in every war the US has fought, even back to the Revolution. My Dad fought in WWII and I have other family members in the armed services now. I would leave my family and fight myself if it came to that. (I am 36 and the mother of two children).

Thank you for allowing me to respond. A concerned proud citizen of the USA.

P. S. Yes, I am behind George W. Bush 100%!
