It could have been me, my family, or friends who were in those buildings or planes. We are neither exempt or immune, just fortunate. Others, of course, were not. And that is one point of terrorism, to cause death, pain, and fear about which one has no control over. I am saddened and sickened by the whole mess, and hope to do a small part in helping those less fortunate deal with their loss. For those of us who are fortunate, we also need to decide how to move on to the future. I offer two short opinion articles from the local daily San Francisco newspaper which I think present views that should be considered. I especially recommend them to readers of this list outside the U.S., as the writing may help understand a part of this country. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/13/DD226205.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/13/DD176316.DTL Peace.
