Even though I live on the west coast and am physically distanced from the actual sites of this horrific act, the emotional effects are hard to describe. In watching the second plane circling the tower and then going into it, was like watching something surreal> It reminded me of King Kong (original with Faye Ray) as he was on the Empire State Builiding and planes were trying to attack him, surreal. It is a vision that will be with me the rest of my life. For anyone to declare this act in name of religion sickens me. You do not have to like or agree with US policy or opinions and you do not have the right to take innocent lives because you do not like us. It saddens me anytime I recall that and proceeding days.
