Melissa said her hands were shaking just typing the email. People in England too are in a stunned state of shock. Tine was in tears last night just looking at the pictures on TV. I hope everyone is united in determination not to be beaten by this evil. Bush & Blair gave speeches to that effect yesterday. Solidarity is the key word Tim. Be strong. Peace to you all.

Very surreal. *Thank you* so much to everyone here who has expressed sympathy and support to the American people. Your friendship gives us courage. Our support goes out to all other nations too. From what I hear, there is to be an all-out global war against terrorism. A frightening prospect considering how many well-armed small factions there are around the world. We will all have to brace ourselves and pray for quick resolution to all of this. When I an upset and nervous, I instinctively start to clean - the activity of it helps soothe my nerves. My house is *very* clean right now. In fact one room is completely redecorated (I didn't sleep last night...) To those still waiting for news of friends and loved ones, remember your friends at Alloy are here for you. xxxxx Robin T Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Bush & Blair gave speeches to that effect > yesterday. Solidarity is the key word Tim. From what I've heard NATO has involked article five this this attack is not just an act of war against the United States but is also an act of war against NATO. I can't see how the people and/or nation who have perpetrated this horror can be dealt with in any way other than full and disproportionate military retaliation. If these acts go unpunished then the United States is just going to become the bitch for every armed nutcase with a beef. I can't fathom how anyone could purpetrate such an act. Surely they must have realized it would bring the full wrath of the US against them much in the same way Pearl Harbour brought that wrath against Japan. I was just shocked when I watched the events unfold on TV yesterday. It all seemed so surreal. I've heard so many people say "it was like a movie" and that's what I was thinking as I watched it all happen. None of it looked "real", it all seemed like special effects. It was such a horribly unthinkable act that it was nearly impossible for my mind to comprehend it was actually happening.

There is a worldwide investigation underway and I can't imagine there will be any way for the attackers to stay hidden for long. They will be faced with the concentrated intelligence and power of nations who have brought down this kind of evil in the past. I am continuing to hear bad news... there is still no word about my friend's husband, who is an NYPD cop & hasn't been heard from since the attack. Another friend's father is missing (he's a businessman with offices in the former Twin Towers of the WTC) and she & her mom are there tonight, checking area hospitals. I'm extremely sickened to hear of people in various places actually celebrating this attack. There is no way any decent human being could possibly celebrate such an act of horror, regardless of who the victims are. In the face of this I only hope we can all manage to stay sane and not overreact. I've just heard news out of NYC that a man was arrested there, trying to run down a Pakistani woman with his car. When questioned, he said he was just trying to "protect his country". It's a very fine line we're all treading here. We're all very upset and angry. We have to look at the larger picture, and not lash out at those around us. The faction which supports terrorism certainly does not encompass an entire race of people, many of whom strongly abhor violence and are deeply mourning this disaster. xxxx Robin T __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
