Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.

This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far: - At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower. - Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that. - A bomb went off at the State Department. - Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate. - Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target. Words cannot express the horror.

my thoughts go out to those that died, and those who survived.

first if you would like to help

redcross 1-800-GIVE-LIFE -blood donations, they ask to make an appointment
http://www.redcross.org/donate/give/

thought i would also share something i read a long while ago

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654

i pray for those who have died, are dying and will die, and hope this all ends as quickly as it started
Why?

I am for one really upset and mad at this act of terrosim. But i hope and pray acts of rage and viloence will not befall peoples of arabic and islamic peoples because of this act. We pointed fingers in Oklahoma and several if not many were terrized and palced in prison before the truth that Americans themselves had perpetrated the act. Although most evidence points to these people let us not forget that Islamic and Arabic peoples have been living in our contry for many years and alot loyal Americans. Let us not recreate the Japanese consetraiton camps that were set up in the 40's during WWII.

Also on another note let us not condemm those celbrating this act. However gruesom it is to us we must understand that these people have grown up in conditions such as reservations of purely disgusting poverty that our own government created during the formation of Isarael where we stole there lands in order to set up a nation to appease the rich Jewish community that was prevalent in America. We created Bin Ladin and his men during the 70's when we needed soldiers to fight the oncoming soviet threat there. But instead of sending our own troops we trained these men and gave them weapons then left them to die at the hands of the soviets as they begged for our help. Bin ladin grew up from this living his entire childhood in a scwaller of a reservation. The hatetred that these people feel for Americans is such that it was a matter of time before an act would have been done.

As a country that has been relatvly free from viloence and world problems we must awaken to the fact that this threat is real. We are not invinsable and untouchable. We have never seen devistation like those countries still being terroized. Yes this atack is the largest in single deaths but if you add all the terrost attacks of foreing countries over the years the numbers become staggering. It is time for us to awaken as a nation to the problems and struggles of others and to stop sitting on our high petistle that has made so many angry. We need to attend national meetings and confrenses and also to stop judging other countiries of there acts yet doing nothing to help them. Why should a country feel sorry for use when we go in and take over their governments if it is not in our best interstes, bomb there cities , judge there acts, then sit by and refuse to listen to there talks and the problems in this worls as if we are its saviors and can do no wrong.

I know this is long and winded but i need to get it off my chest. I hate terrosim but i also hate people who are ignorant to the ffact that we as a nation create most of the worlds problems.

AH u speak well in many ways. but false in others
True we created israel and took land from others to address a long past wrong(think of in 200 years if some forgein power took our land and gave to indians or african americans)but think too of the horror of the holocust and how the world did nothing for Hebrews as **** hauled them to the gas chambers and stoves.
U r correct we used Bin Ladin to fight Russians in the 1970's yet do not forget he has Arab oil backing and never knew a day of poverty in his life. His very wealth implicates him as a prime suspect
Just fact adjustments

Today was a day that no human being should face. This was an act of horrible, unforgiving evil. I cannot even begin to understand the amount of pain that has been inflicted upon the families of the victums of this horrible mass murder. The only thing that I can offer to those and even we as a people together is words. I personally am a Christian, so to me words of prayer are words of the highest respect. The victoms and their families are in my prayers and thoughts. May God in all his glory and grace spread a healing hand upon you all. The 2nd best thing I can do is to show that the deaths of these people will not be in vein. We as Americans must pull together and push our way through this. We must make an example of the events of today. By doing such, we will show future terrorists and radical persecutors, that actions such as these will not go unpunished. We must all believe that justice will be served. No matter a person's sex, age, race, ideas, or sexual orientation we must all STAND together and be one nation and one people.
I also would like to extend a note of respect and honor for those whom have posted here.
Stand tall and strong Americans, for we now must protect our freedom once again.

Cruel
# Sep 11 2001 at 9:21 PM Rating: Good
How can anyone be so cruel and cold as to take thousands of innocent lives, These suicide bombers are tricked into thinking that they will be reborn for their service to their country, and that their country's leaders will care for their families. It is sickening that some terrorist leader can take a young person, twist their thoughts into thinking that the leader is their god, one they should die to please. If these terrorist leaders think that they will gain by killing thousands of innocent americans, they should crash the plane themselves.

I am a Canadian, although I am not american, my prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, and for all of america in the difficult times you face. I hope that your sorrow may be eased by the fact that those responsible will eventually be brought to justice.

Some people just make me so sick. I understand the great horror that has taken place, but in my relgion (quakerism) we believe violence is not the right path. I hope you all help in whatever way you can, but please don't try to cover bloodshed with bloodshed
To all

When this first happened, I was numb. Then the realization hit me that there were several thousand families never be complete again, children that would never see mommies and daddies again, and I became very sad. Then a rage came over me. I am so sick of punk-*** cowards that have no cares except their own "glory" and "needs". Whether it is some mugger picking on some old lady, some gas-station charging $5 US for a gallon for gas, or some POS killing thousands of people. We are the only ones who can protect ourselves any more. We don't have to change the whole world, though, only our little corners. If enough people change thier own little corners of the world, then we all will be able to create a safer world for out children.

May God bless those who lost thier lives today, thier families, and especially those who have chosen the duty of rescue and recovery of those still in the war zones.

I can't blame any people or culture for this. This is the sick work of a few rabid animals that need to be put down. I believe that soon they will realize that you should not eff with people... some people eff back.

I think it is disgusting how anyone could take human life so needlessly, Although I am not an American, (im a friendly neighbor from the north(Canada)) I hope that you guys WILL retaliate, if the people that did these terrorist acts are human beings, I am ashamed to call myself one.

Dear friends,

Today truly was a disastrous day in American history. This attack on not only our hard work, but on our pride and our symbol of strength and stability. The conductors of the horrible onslaught are very disturbed individuals. We must not, however, let anger dwell up within us. My prayers are with ALL of the victims of these crashes and with their families, but also with the terrorists themselves. Satan has driven into their hearts. Surely they need punishment for the terrible act which they have commited, but to hate them in return must not occur. What happened today was not an act of human power, but rather a spiritual attack from Lucifer himself. To react with hatred and violence only feeds his happiness. All we can do is pray for the lives of those lost, for those in danger, and for those in pain.

In closing I would like to extend a word of comfort to all who have had to suffer today from this tragedy.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope, and a future."
~Jeremiah 29:11

In situations such as these, there is only one way to ensure personal relief from the events of our society and of our world. Through spiritual salvation and the love of Jesus Christ, all pain and suffering can be wiped away. I encourage everyone to pray whenever they can for those who have been harmed by todays events. Do not give up faith, for God is always watching upon you with a loving eye.

Hello
I am also a Service Member
I have served this Great Country for a few Years now and this makes my Blood Boil more than the Heat from the Saudi desert. This type of attacks on the US can not and will not be taken. We in the Military live by a simple code it is a unspoken code. We will Die before this nation Falls in Defeat. We are trained to Protect everyone in these 50 States with out fear or care weither we live or die. at this moment i am sitting here thinking back to the Gulf War. when i almost shot my best Friend because he didnt say his name while wakeing me up for Guard Duty. My Fellow Eq players it is a very painful thing we have seen this day. But the People that has done this to all the People of this Nation will and i mean WILL be brought before the only true God and found guilty of pure and simple Murder. also to the Navy service member make sure you paint on the warhead FU*K YOU!!! in Neon Orange just to make sure they read it before it goes BOOMMMMM. Now if any of this Offends you in any way please dont be mad just think about all of them Parentless Kids now because of this Act on us. Think about all of them Police and Fire Fighters that Died Saveing People from this Act. Think about the People Jumping from the WTC because they was on FIRE. We must STAND UP and let the WORLD know WE (the USA) WILL NOT TAKE THIS **** ANYMORE!!!.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my sould: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
i hope this may help someone

I am only 14 years old, but I want to do something. I can't donate blood yet, but how? How can I help?
RE: May Jesus bless our nation, and comfort the families....
# Sep 11 2001 at 11:45 PM Rating: Decent
You may not be able to donate blood but you can volenteer at the local blood bank, doing the paperwork maybe. Certainly handing out the little cups of orange juice and cookies after others have given blood.

Perhaps going door to door, print out some little flyers with addresses of bloodbanks and times they are open. You should be able to get that information from the phone book and calling for the times.

This will motivate more to donate that precious life-giving liquid.

Good luck and God bless.

I have no doubt that the US will eventually respond to this incident to the full extent possible, including if necessary retaliatory strikes. My family has lived in America long before there was even a United States, but never before have I been as proud of being an American as I am today. We have encountered evil in its purest form, but rather than surrender to our grief or lock ourselves away from the world we have declared that WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED OR COWED!

I have lost loved ones in the Pentagon and the WTC's - they were my fellow Americans, my brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, sons and daughters, and I grieve for the loss of every one of them.

I think it no strange coincident that we fall victim to these heinous attacks after the failure of the conference on racism in Africa just last week, or our continued support for Israel as they fight there own war against terrorism. To hear Palestinian's cry out that it was no less than our just desserts for our own crimes of racism boils my blood - the true racists reside in the Middle East. In America we at least have the decency to be embarrased by our past history of slavery and racism and have made attempts to atone for those past mistakes made by our ancestors. Those beasts in the Middle East celebrate their 5,000 years of racism towards the Jews; they cry out joy when a person dies, taking with them innocent bystanders or Good Samaritans. These people are no longer in my mind even deserving of the basic right to live.

For too long the US has complacently stood by while terrorists enjoyed the protection of our laws - when did they give our citizens those basic rights?

There must now be an accounting for all those years they've enjoyed our tolerance. The US must hunt these vermin down and exterminate them, regardless of their organizational ties. A person does not join a terrorist cell to get membership or health benefits. Quite simply they are there to kill. A person who is ready to kill is a threat and must be eliminated. The US must begin targeting terrorist camps and cells and begin exterminating them, regardless of their involvement (or lack) in these attacks. It is only a matter of time before they WILL strike. There is no question that they will strike, only when. The only way the world can enjoy true freedom is for these fanatics to die. If they wish to meet Allah, let me get my Glock and show them the path to Him.

I have had the blessing to be a Fire Fighter for 20 years in Las Vegas NV and would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings about this disaster. I work with six other extremely dedicated E.Q. players who all have been with the Fire Dept here in Las Vegas for more than 20 years and we all enjoy our time in a world created to grant us all diversion from real life. I of course mean E.Q., and I am very blessed to work with such dedicated persons who at a moments notice are running towards a disaster while everyone else is running away from one. I would like everyone in the world of E.Q. to take a moment and please remember the emergency responders who have had their lives snuffed out in a senseless, wonton act of butchery as I have ever known in my life.
I am sure if we have 6 E.Q. players in my station alone that there had to be a few players that gave their lives in the mess of the World Trade Towers. I just wish that everyone could know that such a bond within the different departments exists that it is not unlike a guild fighting the enemy as a family. I just wish that there was such a thing as--/shout need a RES over here

I am not intended to scare anybody, just want to share with all two emails i received today after all this disaster happens, both talk about Nostradamus prophecies. I really hope this is just a coincidence:


"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart
by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb , The
third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

Nostradamus 1654

"Century 6, Quatrain 97
Two steel birds will fall from the sky on the Metropolis. The sky will burn
at forty-five degrees latitude. Fire approaches the great new city [New York City lies between 40-45 degrees] Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up. Within months, rivers will flow with blood. The undead will roam earth for little time".

I repeat, is not my intention to scare anyone, just to share information that have really caused me grate impact.

My heart and soul with the victims of this atrocity. Hope the people responsible of this pay for it.
