These days, even with all of the intelligence at our disposal, there is no way to know where the next attack will come from. I mean, we haven't been able to catch Bin Laden and my feeling is we're just trudging along in Iraq to save face.<BR/>BTW- Don, just for comparison, I wasn't around for JFK but I do remember Reagan being shot...<BR/>Thanks for the post!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976191369662880122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828896572143853257.post-45662335948393244902007-09-12T05:48:00.000-04:002007-09-12T05:48:00.000-04:00I am probably a member of the last generation that...I am probably a member of the last generation that remembers where he was when JFK was assassinated: I was in kindergarten. I remember the corrugated room room dividers parting and the TV being rolled into the room, and all the teachers crowded together.<BR/><BR/>This time around, I was cleaning windows in someone's house. I was in the living room a little after 9am when the lady suddenly burst into the room saying that the World Trade Center had been hit by a jet, and she turned on CNN. We didn't know what it all meant yet, but I was addicted to all the websites that covered it for weeks.<BR/><BR/>I know there is a great deal of controversy about how we respond to this, and how we see ourselves as a nation. But our ambivalence hasn't changed the fact that there are crazy, evil bastards in the world who would just as soon strap on dynamite and walk into a restaurant as they would look at you.Don, the Window Cleanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438450032058499901noreply@blogger.com
