Normally it would offend me (believe it or not) but at the moment it
doesn't...
Phil
Sorry if this offends anyone but I am a bit of a hang em and flog em
man so I think (and hope) the response will be
appropriate
Mick
Thing is ... given the way that the American "collective mind"
works then I dread to think what the response to this will
be.
Phil

Hope you are all OK. I know the
disbelief that I felt watching the whole thing unfold. Like
everyone else is saying - you think this is a movie. Still seems
sureal watching it on the news this morning.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Doctor friend
too. I am ashamed to be a Protestant when I hear things like
this and watch those poor children at the Holy Cross too. It appears
those four planes were taken by just 12 men, and it's the same here in
Northern Ireland. A tiny minority of nutters wrecking it for the
rest.
Mark.

Terrorism
Dear all,
I'm writing to you from holiday, in
Canada, about 90 minutes drive
out of Montreal to be exact.
Didn't I pick the wrong time to come to
North America?
We're
currently in this odd situation. We feel personally safe for
the
next few days - we're staying with friends in a rural area.
However,
we're also directly affected - we have NO IDEA whether we're
going
to be able to get home on Saturday. At the moment, all the
airports
in North America are shut. Furthermore, only a couple of
days ago it
was Mary and I who were on an aircraft flying on a course
that meant
it could have been a bomb. Worse than that, we now have to
fly back
in a few days, in order to see our families again, but are
not sure
how we feel about getting on a plane.
The sheer horror of what's
actually happened doesn't come through on
the web, I'm afraid. We
were sitting here this morning, watching the
pictures live on CNN,
and seeing the first tower collapse, knowing
that there were
FIFTY-THOUSAND people working in that building, and
wondering how
all the survivors of the original crash could possibly
have been all
evacuated.
It gets worse.
The friend we are staying with
an us have a mutual friend. This
mutual friend (who I am not naming
for reasons that will become
obvious) is a doctor, working in
Northern Ireland. He is a
protestant. He treats both Protestants and
Catholics.
On Sunday, he was called up, and told that unless he
stops treating
Catholics, then he, and his wife, will be killed. He
has been told,
point blank, that he is "the target of a sniper's
rifle."
What kind of world do we live in?
No need to
reply. Apologies for posting a long, rambling, off-topic
message
here and wasting everyone's time, but I'm a bit shaken up
right now,
as is Mary, and I guess that venting my feelings in
writing here
means that I don't end up collapsing emotionally.
Maybe I should
hit "cancel" rather than "send". Maybe I will, I guess
I'm going to
be spending the next few minutes scrolling back and
forth. If you
end up reading this, then you know
which...
Regards,
Mark
