Earth-shaking fire from the center of the earth.

Two great rocks for a long time will make war,
And then Arethusa will color a new river red

"prime suspect"?
The most important thing right now is to pitch in through prayer, strong hands, and caring support to all those who have been affected by this tragedy, and leave the detective work to the professionals. May God embrace those who have died, comfort the living, and help law enforcement officials bring the guilty to justice.

F you, I'm reporting what I heard on CNN. This situation is bad enough without jerks like you making it worse.

"Although officials had no direct information this morning linking him to the attacks, fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is automatically considered the leading suspect behind the bombings, a senior government official said. "
RE:
I've been "F"ed by Ed
To you, Ed, and to anyone else who was angered or offended by my words, I offer my regrets. I am, however, sorry you thought it necessary, Ed, to cuss me out because I had a different view. Fighting with eachother is another example of the time-wasting activity (baseless, for the time being, speculation) I was originally writing about. So, Ed, I accept your "F" and offer only goodwill to you in return.

RE:
Actually, I'm pretty upset about what happened today, which I'm sure contributed to my anger; I'm normally more thick skinned and your comments weren't all that bad. Apology accepted and I shouldn't have gone off on you.

RE:
Yes, I see that my statement (Ah, the military and criminal experts at Palminfocenter have zeroed in on Osama Bin Laden as the prime suspect) was a bit sarcastic. I stand by the point I was trying to make, however, that being that you are not an expert in these matters, neither am I, and even the "experts" don't know who is responsible yet. I'm sure we are all shaken up by this and are tense. I know if I wasn't so upset, I would have made my point in a less inflammatory fashion, and your response probably wouldn't have been so crass, either. Thanks for your graceful reply to my reply.
Peace,

Some people would not have known becuase they do not have tv's at work. This was (IS) very important, and he thought he should of informed it to us that read the Palm Info Center
I say, thank you ED for the information. And everyone watch the news for further information. ( I think that was the main purpose!)Stop taking it personal. I did not see anyone in this post pointing their fingers at any ethnical groups!!
That said, Please Drop it!!!

RE: PRAY!
I'll bet that when the investigation is over, it'll be some self-delussional cleric in a tent in some obscure corner of the Middle East (be it bin-ladin or some other loser) that will have heard from his "god" that it was time to kill his fellow man.
Praying won't help... it never does other than to shift the blame off yourself onto some fictional diety. Dropping your irrational superstitions and using logic for a change is what we really need. That and some support for the families of American heroes who died trying to help the victims today.

When you stated "I'm afraid your "god" is the root cause of this tragedy.", you are in fact both right and wrong. You are right in the fact that god (with a lower case "g") is responsible. Satan is the lower-case god of this earth. He obtained dominion over the earth when Adam and Eve chose to defy God's commandments. Satan, in fact, still uses people today (that are weak) to carry out his acts of destruction. Because you reject God, you also reject the tools that are available to prevent these acts - like prayer and the spreading of the gospel (which is the good word). The people responsible for these acts were fed lies that allowed them to be used for these horrific actions. The hijackers that flew these planes into the structures were mere puppets of the men that manipulated them. These puppeteers too are foolishly manipulated and controlled by this lower-case god.
Just as you are blinded from the truth, and inadvertently wrote the truth above, you are false in your intended communication that God is some how involved with this. the reason that many people fall for the counterfeit god is that the lies are tightly intertwined with truth. Any thing that is a counterfeit has enough of the real stuff in it to fool people. You are correct when you say that, "Most great world tragedies can be traced back to some sort of religious conflict... ". The bible says that "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places] - Eph 6:12". Therefore the battles that are fought on this earth are spiritual conflicts (or a "religious conflict" as you called it).
You wrote "when mankind finally grows up and thinks for itself instead of relying on all the supernatural mumbo-jumbo (Christianity, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish), maybe we won't be so inclined to kill each other."
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. - Prov.. 3:5-6"
It is when man tries to rationalize and determine that he is smart enough alone to fix the problem is when these situation arise. When he ,as you put it, "...grows up and thinks for itself instead of relying on all the supernatural mumbo-jumbo" is when he does not have a chance for the right outcome.
You wrote: "I'll bet that when the investigation is over, it'll be some self-delusional cleric in a tent in some obscure corner of the Middle East (be it bin-ladin or some other loser) that will have heard from his "god" that it was time to kill his fellow man."
Gods says: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding - Prov. 9:10". What is fear of the Lord? "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth - Prov. 8:13"
Clearly one who allows himself to carry out these types of acts are not one who fears God. They clearly have not acted with wisdom or knowledge of the truth.
You wrote: "Praying won't help... it never does other than to shift the blame off yourself onto some fictional deity. Dropping your irrational superstitions and using logic for a change is what we really need."
Read Proverbs chapter 10, and you'll see the distinct differences in people. There are of two types: one that accepts the truth and is wise, and one rejects truth and is foolish. The heart of the wicked is of little worth, they die in search of wisdom. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief. The tongue of the just is as choice silver, and their lips feed many and the desire if the righteous shall be granted - Prov. 10:20-24.
Prayer is the key. We must resist the devil and turn to God. Pray for those involved and affected by this mess. Admit that we don't know everything and that everything is not in control in the hands of man alone. God uses men to do good in the earth. We must chose to accept the responsibilities that we have - one of which is to pray.
You wrote that we need to focus on"...support for the families of American heroes who died trying to help the victims today."
There is good into you and you are seeking the truth that is why you wrote what you did. God has heard you and responded.
God says "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. - 1 Timothy 2:1-8"
Father, in the name of Jesus, We pray for those in authority. That they make the proper decisions concerning the swift capture and punishment of the misguided persons involved. We pray that people resist the fear that man might to implant in them to try and thwart the investigation. That they fear You and come forth with information that they know. We ask that your ministering spirits go forth and guide your people. To have your people boldly speak the truth - even more bolder than those willing to spread lies. We thank you for your angels that you have assigned to the issues of this day. You have given your angels charge over those affected by these events, to keep them about the actions that are in line with your ways. We reverence you and acknowledge you as our Lord and Savior. Thank you for the angel of the LORD who encamps all around your children and delivers them from perilous situations. We bless the families of the lost, the rescue workers, the nation's security experts, and all those mentioned above, that they may be powerful in the land, and fulfill their divine destiny. Amen.

RE: PRAY!
The first estimate says that 10,000 people are dead (not injured, wounded, etc. but DEAD) and here you are quoting useless bible verses, debating over the existance of god or God or gOD or whatever! UN-FSCKING-BELIEVEABLE!
Drop the high and mighty tone and theological debates and just FEEL for the people and families affected by this mess.

RE: PRAY!
Again, Donate Blood for those in need!
No one can resolve right now the "GOD" vs "Devil" thing.
Do something to help, if not Shut UP. Praying just calms the soul of the person who is praying.
If God is so MIGHTY, what makes anyone think That WE Humans beings (misly little things) have the power to make HIM/HER/IT do stuff like we like it!!!
Drop the discussion, its useless, everyone has their conviction and no one is going to change it.
This is the reason why wars and things like today happen!!!
RE: PRAY!
Deuteronomy 30:19 - I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

No one is trying to convert anyone here, if you are going to fill the pages with things that are incorrect, I will fill it up with the truth. I am not quoting my opinions, like you are. I am quoting God's word. Because you reject the truth does not make it a lie. I didn't start this thread, I'm reponding your posts.

YOU pray to your 'god' that (if he exsisted) is at least partially responsible for this - If only for standing by and letting it happen.
Personally, I think any ONE of those rescue workers is a thousand times greater than your so-called 'god' - At least they're actually DOING something.

No Terrorist - uta criminal act
What is this - anone having the word on the lip - what is a terrorist - always a evil arab were sitting with our asses right on their oil in SaudiArabia?
Whenever Coffe is spilled - Bin Laden is the one to be blamed - or someone else abroad - who is consequently bombarded - even if it is a milkfactory.
Never mind.
The tactic, organisation and execution points to a pretty homemade criminal act. Time will tell.
Just a few month ago there where rumors regarding the twin tower's change of ownership.

Civility
You want to pray, please do, though I suspect anyone religious already is doing so and doesn't need the reminder. For those of us who believe praying is a waste of time you come off as trying to shove your beliefs down our throats (having experienced the wrath of those who won't just live and let live regardless of faith).
I'm sure both groups of that debate can agree that we are on the same side: that acts of terrorism cannot be tolerated and the loss of life here is truly tragic.
So lets not take fight each other in our stress and grief. This is exactly what those responsible for this reprehensible act want us to do.
RE: Civility
I hope that we can all come together, using communities and our common everday intersts such as PIC for mutual support. This is a sad day for the US and the whole world, as it represents not only the loss of thousands of innocent lives, but also the potential triumph of intolerance over mutual respect and understanding. Lets make sure that we don't contribute to this disaster by bickering amongst ourselves.
My thoughts hopes and sincre condolences, and those of all of us in the UK, are with the people who died in America today and their families.

RE: Civility
I have read so many messages that "God is control" and that "this is the work of Satan" that it makes my head spin. Either of those claims removes moral culpability from the MORTAL agents who engineered these acts. It seems to escape some folks that every religious person believes that God is on his or her side - even when two very religious sides are in conflict.
If people want to pray, they have every right. They also have the right to ask other people to pray. What they do not have the right to do is be surprised when it angers some people who either do not believe in any God, do not believe in the SAME God or do not believe that prayers have an effect (particularly prayers to a God who "allowed" those events to happen).
I think that most any moral being - even enemies of the United States - will agree that these events were tragic and wrong without bringing mythology into it.

Imagine: having quickly available a pre-built organizational site, backed by database tables to hold data on loss of property, life, people accounted for, temporary email access and more.
Even more, deploying a wireless LAN of PDA enabled aid workers, plus laptops, etc. gives people the ability to quickly and accurately get information into the central servers, and then distributed to people all over the world.
What would it take to make this a reality? A set of satellite data links, a slew of left-over or decommissioned laptops, some networking equipment, a couple of high-power servers in a fairly secure data center (and even mirrored sites for extra availability), PDAs, and most of all -- PEOPLE.
I first thought of this during the Bosnian events, then during the floods in Houston, and now with this. I think getting corporations to donate both $, gear and people's time will be key -- How do we make it a reality?
At the risk of a huge amount of bad email, here's my personal address: ed@ellisgroup.net

A tragic event.
RE: A tragic event.
all day I've been pondering how we americans had it so cushy, without a war on our soil in over 100 years, only the attack on pearl harbor. which, while similar to this one, is far surpassed by the sheer numbers of casualties today. i've been thinking about everybody in the middle east, in ireland, much of africa, asia, south america -- basically, the rest of the world -- who deal with disasters like this on a daily basis. sure, tens of thousands of people aren't killed in a matter of hours on a daily basis, but human lives add up, and the tragedies around the world make today seem like a drop in the bucket. as painful as it is, it's a wake-up call that we can't pretend this is a happy, peaceful world, and continue to ignore the brutality outside our borders.

RE: A tragic event - not quiet Israel
Realize that more Jews died in the towers (probably 10-20% Jewish) than throughout the past decade in Israel. Terror of such magnitude is very different from anything experienced elsewhere. The Israeli response to something like this would be a blanket attack on a country. What will the US do?

It has to be under any circumstances a muslim - no other minority allowed - not even as masterminders behind.
Shoot them on the spot and do not let them talk (as done with Milosevic at the "international war criminal tribunal")
So you get nice and political absolute correct coverage.
If it cannot be done, no problem. Make a movie in Hollywood and push it as real over the channels to the masses, like we have done with great sucess at the heroic golf war.
Read a good history book
And when in the library ask for the report of the "Joint Committee on the investigation of the Pearl Harbor Attack” (15.11.1945-31.05.1946)
You will find that Roosevelt tricked Congress and the US & world population to press the US into IIWW they did not want at that time. The Japanese code was decrypted months ago and Roosevelt was informed precisely when the Pearl Harbor Attack would come. He knowingly let 2.600 soldiers die for this aim Pearl Harbor.
Look at today.
The US oil companies want a pipeline though Afghanistan at any cost – hardly possible under Taliban control, the drug production of the biggest producer must be curbed, Bin Laden, a by-product of former wrong US policy, can be quietened, and Israel can do whatever they like to the Palestinians now.
Bushs Policy "hang’em high – whoever it is” is necessarily spreading and leading to IIIWW.
Probably in 50 years, when we go to a library, we see this enormous tragic event also much differently than today– and more sober.
A tragic event leading to WWIII
See a library and dont have bad feelings for beeing bad educated - it is fashion today not cool evaluating the facts visible in any library for free black on white but loving artificial constructed Hollywood lies. The underdogs love this.
If US politics follow your fashion there is no library left in a few years anymore.
PUNISH, DETER, AND DEFEND!
RE: PUNISH, DETER, AND DEFEND!
Where will you send the bombs if it turns out the attack on the WTC or Pentagon was orchestrated by a Christian from Colorado??
Let's just say that you _do_ bomb the person you organised all this: who else might be killed? Who else would be maimed, orphaned, traumatised? And when will they send their own bombs back for "justice", their own "freedom", and to "punish and deter" _you_?
The simplicity in your thinking is pathetic and, quite frankly, disturbing.
PUNISH, DETER the right one!
It’s as trivial as in an ordinary criminal story.
Ask yourself who might benefit and you have the culprit.
The group who has enormous criminal and brutality potential and where masterminding and orchestrating this militarily organised strategy perfect, has surely also the capability to set up misleading traces.
Just look the real Kennedy murder.
For very political reasons, the investigators bite now the open laid out bait. That’s what is happening now.
The biggest mistakes would be to go to war at random for shortsightes reasons and face more incredible brutal attacks on the free world from the still safe and hidden professional and brutal whackos.
On the other hand: let us not forget that the core of the problem might be the CIA strategy itself that is backfiring now.
Milosevic, Saddam, Bin Laden, Sharon – and more of the same breed where former or are still active CIA agents.
Listen to Vidal Gore – one of the most prominent and helpful critics of the American society – he may be not always right in all his considerations, but certainly, he very often has a point.
On this he surely has...
BOMB THE ANIMALS AS THEY DANCE IN THE STREETS!!!!
My Solution
2. Immediately DEPORT all non-US citizen ARABS out of the country. We do not need/want them here and they ARE A SECURITY RISK. Do not let any more in the country. SHIP THE ALl BACK AND DON'T LET ANY MORE IN THE COUNTRY! It's a shame, but now we have no choice!
3. Bomb the **** out of Bin Laden's Operations known locations.

RE: A thought
I think the moral of the story is: once you're in the hands of terrorists, you're as good as dead anyway, so you should probably fight like hell and not be lulled into inaction by empty promises that "you won't be hurt".
Military action at this point is pointless. Plane manufacturers need to massively improve in-flight security to prevent further highjackings, and the intelligence guys need to get off their duff and penetrate this various terror groups. Armed marshalls on all flights wouldn't hurt either.

That's true. They certainly did save thousands of lives. But in my opinion the plane was shut down by US air-force rather than the passengers or the pilot, for the same reason you mentioned.

Microsoft donates $10 Million to Bombing Relief

preparation.
It is neither appropriate nor prudent for us to jump
to conclusions and make rash decisions. Such
inappropriate actions would only increase the number
of people who would be willing to commit such acts
upon us in the future.
Furthermore, if we lash out blindly, we may
mistakingly strike current and potential friends and
allies -- not to mention, an unacceptable number of
innocent men, women and children. We must not fall
into the type of endless and unforgiving spiral of
"eye-for-an-eye" retribution that street gangs and
some third world nations fall into.
This is a time for reflection:
What we as a nation lost yesterday was our collective
illusion of security. This has already adversely
affected, among many other things, the value of our
dollar, whose only real worth comes from the worlds
perception of America as a haven of stability and
financial security. Further, the loss of the worlds
largest financial center will have unknown and
widespread repercussions. Of course, the loss of 4 to
40 thousand lives is utterly unmeasurable.
This is also a time for investigation and preparation:
The only real way to regain some sense of our lost
security and financial power, is to determine who
committed this act and prepare to strike back
meaningfully and appropriately at whomever aided and
orchestrated this unthinkable disaster.
A dose of Reality:
An overt act of war has been thrust upon us -- we must
now brush off our wounds, regain our composure,
determine who is responsible, remember the principles
of freedom & liberty that make our country what it is,
and make damn sure that terrorists around the world
know this:
"If you strike us we will strike back. The
organization that is responsible for Tuesdays
attack, along with those that harbor and aid that
organization, will be hit and hit HARD. They will
serve as an example that we no longer view mass
terrorism as simply a criminal act -- that we now
reserve the right to wage war against those who
perpetuate and support it."

Americans Willing to Go to War, Bush Approval at 84%, NYT Says
By Rachel Layne
New York, Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- The United States should take military action against whoever is responsible for attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, 85 percent of people in a New York Times/CBS poll said, the paper reported.
Seventy-five percent said such action should be taken even if innocent people were killed, the telephone poll of 959 adults across the U.S. taken Thursday and Friday shows, the paper said. The public also favors changing the law to allow assassination of people in countries outside the U.S. that commit terrorist attacks, the paper said.
Another 84 percent approve of the job President George W. Bush is doing, up from 50 percent just more than a month ago. Seven of 10 said Bush, a Republican, is a strong leader, including 55 percent of Democrats. That's his highest rating since he took office and is up from 54 percent in June, the paper said.
Though more than half polled said they didn't think Arab- Americans were more sympathetic toward terrorists than other citizens, they do expect a backlash against Arab-Americans, Muslims and the Middle East, the paper said.

So instruct the US airforce to bomb itself.
Given the intellectual state of G.W.B - it should be easy enough to convince him on that - and you too.
Any other involvement is still unclear - exept for war mongers

And 98% of American men want to have a free bjob from Mrs.
Levinsky on social cecurity card and 99% do not want to pay taxes – not a sound argument for starting a probably atomic war at random, against a "suspect". Dont forget Pakistan has the bomb and the means transporting them at least as far as to Israel.
You never know where a miscalculation of forces drawn in the matter may lead to.

Slimeball kicks you
WE ARE not UNITED AND not READY!
4 or 6?
How many has Sadam Hussein seen?
And how many big drug barons in the US?
You are dirty, stinky, filthy, Anti-Americans.
A sober US lover
Still I rate US people very high and have deep respect of the american society and the kindeness of thins country (apart from uneducated dummies like you - boy) still I rate US politicians corrupt and / or stupid - The difference between us: I have a broad view and know history - hardly your strong point my boy.
Where could I come from?
there is no terror at all
What is, are different levels of private or state force.
Starting from bulldozing civilian houses, cutting water supply, depriving of education, forced starvation, to hitting innocent people with A-bombs as in Nagasaki, Hiroshima or eliminating Dresden civilians by traditional means to the hitting of a building with an aeroplane. Arafat was a terrorist like all Israeli leaders until now - now there all together a bunch of elderly statesman.
Its all a matter of view and force (financially and militarily) and being able to convince the world opinion maker that the OWN force is the only one legitimate- not a matter of moral. A matter of having the means of transporting the own view through the media as the only right one and being either "Gods own country” or "Gods selected people”.
