The size of this event has still not hit me completely. Obviously, this sort of treatment to other people is absolutely ghastly, and an attack on such powerful forces is just sheer insanity. I wouldn't go anywhere near saying this could be the start of war, but this trajedy cannot ever be over.
The sad truth is, terrorism is the new evil in our world. In fact it's not even new - from the Crusades centuries ago, this sort of madness has been going on, and, against Tony Blair's hopes, certainly won't be iradicated for several years at least.
To get to a more heartless note (which I feel I must bring forth), these terrorist attacks can be compared with Abe's attack on the Magog Cartel.
I personally offer condolenses to anyone who has in any way been affected by this disaster, from the truely unthinkable possibilities I wish not to think about, to the disability of not being able to use your mobile phone because of the destruction of the phone masts on the building.
