While it is soothing to the emotions to vent anger in this manner, it is
counter productive to actual solutions. What is needed is a concerted
effort, world wide, to *STOP* all terrorism. Unfortunately, there are areas
of the world where people feel free to allow terrorists to hide and mingle
with the general population. Attacking these areas only allows you to
become a terrorist, too, thus increasing the problem, not decreasing it.
I would think this is a perfect case for Linux and distributed data. If all
those people who conglomerate in the WTC each day were to telecommute, there
wouldn't be such an obvious and easy target for terrorists. Secure
networking is the only way to make this a reality. But heck, this is the
*information* age, not the stone, bronze, iron, industrial or atomic age.
Let us proceed accordingly, and *not* by sinking to their level.
Prayers for and best wishes to the survivors and families of those lost.
Hope for world change as a result. Love to all (love the sinner, hate the
sin).
In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord,
