So two days ago was the worst acts of terrorism I know about. Or is it in comparison to hiroshima and other history? Well It's clearly the worst done to the US up till now. I've felt anger and hurt, but at the same time it's distant. The little event has turned the attention of the entire country. I can only wonder what will burn off the anger that has been building since the scene tuesday. What will we end up doing? Will we strike out at in anger? Will our actions prevent or be the seeds of future tradegy.

I wish there was wisdom to be had. I want there to be a correct path through a mess. I have no answers for Isreal and I have none for the US, but I remeber the burn, the need to get the task done at whatever cost is needed.

The strangest thing is how much air travel means to this country, how much can change without it. There is a very old lesson about not know what the value of something is till you no longer have it. One person on #uiuc said that he applauded when the first plane landed again in chicago's O'Hare airport.
