perhaps, but it didn't take long for the anti-americans to demonstrate
their hatred.

Google for "martin hotze" and you'll see that he has quite a history of
anti-American posts. Why bother feeding his trolling posts?


Especially clueless trolls.

Rule #1 of parenting: All tantrums must be ignored, whether the subject of
said tantrum is three or fifty-three.

Martin and all,

The fellow that wrote the below email worked for me for several years,
then got another job that involved a lot of traveling. As you can
see, he was near the WTC on 9/11. So I, a California native and
resident, personally know someone greatly affected by 9/11.

Another acquaintance from my small town, a baker, was compelled to
bake some goodies, fly back to NYC during the cleanup, and hand them
out to the workers, all at his own expense.

Probably most Americans have similar stories. I remember seeing the
pictures and videos of people jumping from the towers, and thinking to
myself, this could have been me: one moment, you're starting work, cup
of coffee in hand, yakking with your work buddies--an hour later
you're deciding that suicide by jumping is preferable to being burned
alive. Did you talk it over with those same work buddies---how many
were still alive? Did you have a chance to call your spouse, say
goodbye to anyone you love?

I also remember news pictures and stories of Palestinians laughing and
celebrating, of OBL snickering and smiling at his handiwork. So cut
us some slack if we enjoy an occasional moment ourselves. That
doesn't make any of it right. It just makes us human, after all.

Hi Jill,
Its been a long time since I heard from you. How are you doing?

Things have been very depressing since Sept. 11. I was in NYC on the
day of the attack. I was actually walking past tower 2 crossing over
towards liberty plaza when the first plane hit. It was so surreal that
I still don't believe it actually happened. I don't think I ever felt
as panicky as I did that day. As I was walking away from the building,
debris was coming down along with papers. One of the papers was some
firm's confidential documents and then is when it struck me. There
were people up there in the buildings. It just squeezed my heart right
there. Thankfully I was able to get away without any injuries. It was
a long wait to get the ferry out to NJ and then the Greyhound back to
********. I don't think I have ever wanted to come home so bad.

Anyway, this week I am in *******. I really like this place. Next
week I am headed for NYC again. I haven't felt like a movie in weeks,
but I do now. Did you see any interesting movies this summer? Fall is
just around the corner and I just love that slight tinge of summer
that hangs in the air. Say hi to my friends. More later -- ******

there sure are many americans (and non americans alike) affected by this
tragic event.

yes, I read about similar stories during that time - short after 9/11.

I've seen it, too. (Only - or better: I am glad that it was *only* and not
direct in NY) live on TV.

I also remember news pictures and stories of Palestinians laughing and

this event you are referring to was pointed out of being setup for
television. But for sure there have been many happy about the 9/11 attacks.
There is _no_ excuse for anybody being happy about the forceful death of
somebody else.

OK - seing it in the whole context makes it at least understandable - as
you put it: human.

what about a death toll? maybe they hit 5 families? collateral damage? for

Hearing damage: For certain

*big applaus* - oh how proud one must be of people showing off different
methods of killing people. do you want me to kill them subsonic or
supersonic?

Bunch of ragheads thinking twice about shooting at us: Priceless

OK, I got it in the wrong context with the supersonic flight and I excuse
for pointing out a death toll.

but the rest remains as is.

I fixed your post for you.

First, my apologies for misspelling "Priceless". Late at night with
'puddle' fingers and not running spell checker ( Thank all for not
commenting G

Some comments on the low altitude high speed pass.

1. Just like the groups that go to Air Shows to see aircraft on the
ground and in the air, AF ground support troops and Army troops who
benefit from CAS like to see the equipment flying close up. A high
speed pass at low altitude is and has been a method of showing off for
those individuals. A supersonic low altitude pass is an EVENT.

2. For the aircrew, orbiting for hours waiting for a call to action is
very boring and a pass breaks the monotony of the waiting mission.
Also most pilots (even GA) like to show off their 'equipment' .
Oshkosh, photo's on Internet, Sun-an-fun, etc. For the B-1, its the
only flying supersonic bomber.

3. For those who are not familiar with supersonic flight.

a. At high subsonic and supersonic speed you don't hear the
aircraft coming.

b. The shock wave does not hit the ground until the aircraft
has PASSED the point where you are standing.

4. Any 'bad guys' in the vicinity would be awakened the same as if a
500 lb'er were dropped next door. Any structures under the flight path
would/could suffer damage (good deal in Indian country)

5. All in all, low altitude high speeds passes at night might be a
good way to harass the enemy )

6. Just remember VN. We're in this War to win.

Big John

For you Michael

Don't want to get into the European 'mind set'. So many of you have
forgotten the blood and money we spent so you can sit at your sidewalk
table and drink Schnapps and beer and Monday morning quarterback the
game.

Who are you going to call on when they drive a car bomb up next to you
and set it off?

Americans can take valid criticism but to belittle us hits a deeper
nerve. Don't poke the bear, as we say. here in Texas.

how long will you bring this into account? I was born 30 years after the
war (WWII) *ended*. As I wrote befo you (the allies) did a great job and
I am thankful. But it is too long ago to still pay for it.
I say thank you - nothing more, but nothing less.

the problem Martin... is that many of your age don't appreciate what our
fathers and grandfathers did in Europe and in the South Pacific.. and we
hear the same rhetoric all the time.
