Even down in this remote part of the world everyone is shocked at the devastation and carnage prosecuted by these madmen. I have previously stood on the trade tower and visited Washington so I can get a small grasp of the magnitude of the devastation that has occurred there. Our hearts go out to all Americans and particularly those directly effected by these bastardly acts, and although we know you will bounce back the scar will always be there. It also signals the world that there is a cost to freedom and the right to live peacefully.
