And let us all come together for a moment of silence and reflection. Let us hope that we do not stoop to their level. Humanity has suffered - not only will we not sleep as well at night anymore, but we may become as impulsive as those who obviously have us in their sights. What can we learn from all this? The world comes to the backwoods in an instant. This country has periodically found itself in such dire straits. Let us be helpful to their families as we always are in such desperate times. on December 7, 1941, Japanese bombers and torpedo planes attacked the U.S. Perhaps the first thing to do will be to pray for the dead and injured. While we do not know who “the bad guys” are at the moment, we do know that when the smoke clears - and it will clear - we will need calm heads to deal with the level of catastrophe involved. We always suspected - joked, even - that such a day was coming. The number of injured could not possibly be confirmed, at this moment, in all the confusion.Īt the first glance, the bad guys made the first move. The State Department has just suffered a car bomb explosion. Next came the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Then a plane was confirmed to have crashed on a helicopter pad beside the Pentagon. Trading at the New York Stock Exchange was suspended indefinitely, and the White House and the Sears Tower were evacuated. About an hour later, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Fires were caused by planes crashing into the building - an unidentified terrorist attack.

What is the day of infamy
