A total of 3,016 people were killed during the September 11 attacks.
While that is tragic, and there is a tremendous loss suffered by those families and loved ones who lost someone in the attacks, I can not help but briefly wonder how exceedingly sick it would have been if the NYC attack had happened an hour later, when the twin towers were full of workers and visitors.
That's over 50,000 people. That's the size of the town I live in. That is truly staggering to imagine.
God Bless our men and women in the armed services who are waging the ongoing battle against terrorism. Over the past 2 years, we have not had a terrorist attack in the USA. There is no doubt this is due to the work of our Intelligence agencies. Without their work, many planned attacks would not have been thwarted. Finally, thank you to President Bush for doing the right thing and being proactive in these matters. Clearly the MO of the terrorists is to strike first and strike hard. By being proactive we are preventing the terrorists from carrying out their plans in this country.
Let us be vigilant in our endeavors to stem the rising tide of terrorism against our country!
