True, the thought of attacks on American soil has many people waving the
flag that would not otherwise do so, but in our war on terrorism you must
remember that this is not the first incident that has happened on American
soil.

I have to disagree on the "untouched" part of your statement.  I would have
to say that the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City was an act
of terrorism.  I would have to say that the previous bombing of the World
Trade Center was also an act of terror.

Personally, we have thousands die on American highways every day and they
don't get the coverage that these poor souls did.  We're fighting a battle
and there will be casualties, even from such a horrible thing as friendly
fire.  What I find amazing is that we've been on the aggressive for this
long and have a total of 3 accounted casualties on "our side".  Given our
level of involvement, there could be so many more.
