While I invite you to read this heartfelt special NetNacs! first issue about the terrorist attack on the United States, words can only partially vent the feelings of shock, frustration, and anger towards the people responsible for the ungodly terrorist acts that black mark September 11, 2001 in the history of the United States. Even President Bush's forceful statement about "an unyielding anger" is a kind way of describing what I believe almost every American is really thinking. How does anyone who purports to believe in God dismiss fundamental beliefs of valuing "innocent" human life? And whom are they fooling about hiding behind the irrational view that people working in the World Trade Center Towers are somehow even partially responsible for the struggles in the Middle East? The only conclusion I come up with is . . . blind hatred! Doing anything to achieve a satanic end regardless of the cost, including to oneself. It is truly frightening when one thinks about what the leader of this despicable crime could do against mankind if there is access to nuclear and/or biological weapons. Well, it is time to put an end to this type of person once and for all. Let's hope that Russia and China's condemnations will translate in an active role by joining the United States and its allies in this eradication. And as a father of a U.S. Marine, I pray for the safety of all who might be called upon to do what is necessary! David Bancroft
