None of you have a heart, do you?

"amazing nobody did this to the Pentagon a long time ago"
....is not at all what Chris said, thank you very much.  
I could understand, and even agree with that comment; it IS a 
surprise it took this long. 

Chris said: "Somebody shoulda bombed the Pentagon *years* ago."

Enormous difference in my eyes.  Chris' condoning and applauding 
of this horrible horrible action was uncalled for, period.

Especially when I STILL don't know if my friends are alive, safe, 
and/or working as rescuers in those horrific scenes.  

Not a single soul who read my post felt any need to offer any sort 
of understanding for what might be actually sort of painful for me... 
all you seem to want to do is suggest (albeit obliquely, but lets bring 
your philosophy out to a practical statement:) that my friends might 
be somehow, just by being members of this society, responsible 
for their own (possible) deaths .... and then quibble over the 
definition of tragic.   

Four intelligent, caring, vibrant and MISSING people between the 
ages of 23 and 30... my FRIENDS... how's THAT for "tragic"?

I care about little right now related to this other than finding out where 
and how they are.  My emails are still unanswered, and their phone 
is still ringing off the hook.  

Not that anyone here asked.

Until I know, I dont care whether we bomb anyone in retaliation.  
But I will say this:
I guarantee you that if there's innocent (or even culpable) loss of life 
in a retaliatory strike, I won't be celebrating.  I might not consider it 
inappropriate, I might be glad if true justice is dispensed... but I will 
NOT be dancing and cheering.  

Everyone is someone's son or daughter, sister, brother, wife, husband... 
their religious beliefs or cultural differences or life circumstances 
or even crimes...in NO WAY makes the loss of their life any less 
mourned by those that loved them.  I may feel it was right and just, 
but I won't be HAPPY about it.

I will give you that I really expected to hear something from or about 
my friends by now, and that I am more stressed and upset 
because I have not....
.. but I can't tell you how distraught I am at how cold and analytical 
you all seem to be... 

I may not always be *this* emotional... and I appreciate a good intellectual 
or philosophical debate as much as the next person, 
but I hope I never lack compassion...
