I wish the world was a different place.

Sadly John, the world is a different place. It became one at 0946 EDT on

Bill John and all,
Bill and John and all:
To make the world a different place is exactly the goal of I don't want to
know how many people who want to turn this planet into Allah's. These
fundamentalists are the minority in the islamic world (let's hope), but I have no
idea what could be a cure against people who are willing to kill themselves
and take as many non-believers as possible with them, believing that if they
die in the holy war that they would go to heaven directly.
What worries me most is how apparently easy it was for them to take out the
US, without the use of weapons or even bombs. Realizing that each plane
fueled up in the sky can be abused as a weapon that easy is scary, and who knows
if the terrorists even had to smuggle any weapons on board? What will be a
security improvement that could prevent this from happening again?
Will it be enough to take out Bin Laden, if they could ever hunt him down?
Where is the enemy? How much of a threat are all the people dancing in the
streets when they see the US in chaotic, burning disaster? Are most of those
pictures propaganda and in real life those fathers, mothers and children know
better?
It is scary. I just heard that military forces in San Diego are on 'delta 3'
alert, which is one level below war status.
I wanted to schedule the Cessna over the phone this morning to go on a cross
country flight when the flight school told me I probably won't go anywhere
in a plane today or maybe even the next couple of days, I should just turn on
the news. Ironically when I was on my motorcycle going on the 101 towards
Ventura, I thought Well, I have not watched the news today, although I am a
little worried about those couple of small earthquakes in LA within the last 48
hours which could be a sign of a bigger one coming soon. I wonder how the
freeway would look like if the big disaster really happens... Little did I know
that a different kind of disaster had indeed happened.
May the victims and families find peace, and may there be justice for the
culprits. May it be over with the violence and may the judges have wisdom to
not make matters worse.

A terrible day.

My brother works in the American Express building directly across the
street
(+/- 100 feet) from the North tower. His office looks out on the north
tower. Thank God he is in Barcelona, Spain on business.
We have communicated via email and I have been on the phone all morning
calling relatives in the northeast who are unable to use their phones
spreading the news that my brother is safe. Sadly, he is certain that
friends and colleagues have perished in the abominable act of cowardice.
I
know many of these same people and share his sense of coming loss. For
now
we have to deal with the uncertainty.
I fear that if it were not for the good fortune of his travel schedule
that
I would be in mourning with so many other families right now.
