Agreed, I'm still mostly in shock.  What tugged on my heart-strings the
most through the numbness was when someone on CNN made the comment that
pschiatrists were being deployed to bus stops for when children were
coming home, to explain their parents may not ever be coming home.  I
was distressed over the fact they were passenger planes, I failed to
think the next step further to those remaining.


My biggest fear now is tomorrow.  We'll have had a chance for todays
horrific events to sink in.  Congress is conveneing, the terrorists now
know that.  A few years ago Tom Clancy the novelist was speaking with
some of the nations' generals and asked "what would essential behead our
goverment and throw us into chaos?"  Their response was if someone took
out congress while it was in session.

I'm fearful of more attacks tomorrow, I sure as hell hope it's simply my
paranoid nature.

Best wishes to all
