The original poster was trying to help us see the point of view of the terrorists. He didn't say that he agreed with them. Understanding their viewpoint will help us prepare for further evil deeds from them and help us defeat them. Know thy enemy. This is logical. What the poster didn't understand is that we are grieving and not ready for logic. According to Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, there are five stages of grief. 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance Many people are still in the anger stage. This is not a good time to be sending e-mails. They come out all wrong. Let's avoid the topic until everyone calms down.
