E.M., Chelsea
I do not understand war. Although, I feel that if our President does not take serious and aggresive action he will have let the families and the people of this country down.
Rob, Boston
I know that this tragedy will take quite a long time to sort out and I am holding hope that people will emerge from the rubble.
I also hope that our response will be considered, measured and swift.
Fiodhna, Shrewsbury
I am hearing feeling great pain of sadness. I upset that these people were able to penetrate the US. I upset that the government didn't know more. I am frustrated that they isnt more ways I can help. I feel paralyzed and victimized. I wish there was a way we could all join the fight to find these cowards. That word doesn't sum up all the feelings I have to toward those individuals but for right now its all i can come up with. May all responsible die and a slow miserable death.
Jeff Beauregard, Salem
I do feel vulnerable and afraid, for myself, my family, my friends and for all the people of New York and America. It's an eerie feeling to look into the bright blue sky and see nothing. No planes. No helicopters. Nothing. It gives you a sense of fear and unprotectedness. A feeling that we as Americans have taken for granted. We live in the United States of America, we have the best Armed Forces in the world. It's just hard to understand how something of this magnitude and perfect planning could take place.
We as a country have to strike back. To regain the confidence of the people of the United States and the world, to prove that we are the Super Power that we claim to be. This isn't going to be an overnight battle, this has three to five years written all over it! God help us and God Bless America.
CL, Waltham
What the hell do I tell my 5 year old when she asks me, "Why did these bad people want to hurt us?"
I wrote her a letter yesterday, sealed it along with todays newspaper, and put it away. I want her to know how much it hurts, how vulnerable we feel, and how grateful I am to have her.
Kerry, Boston
Our thought and prayers are with the families right now. I do hope our government takes the nescessary steps to make sure someone is punished. Unfortuntaly, I thought I would never say this.. but I want them to now suffer like we have.
Tim, D.C.
While we cannot dismiss what has happened, we must move forward and not become paralyzed by fear and apprehension. That is exactly what the terrorists hope to gain by all of this: that we, as Americans (and others in the civilized world), will start fearing our own shadow. We should use caution, and be prepared, but must not give in to the cowardly acts of those who wish to strike fear into the hearts of the righteous.
J.I.M., Randolh
First and foremost, my prayers are with those who perished, and my condolences to their families. In the wake of such tragedy, I find myself surrounded by the ones I love, and hurts to think of those who won't share the same joy this morning. It is an undescribable feeling of sorrow that lingers in the air. THOSE WHO CREATED THIS MUST PAY!!
Bob, Portsmouth, N.H.
To answer you qestion of course we have lost our innocence in regard to terrorisim in our own country. However, I am very angry at the congressman and senators who gathered to sing last night in a made for television appearance. I could care less about them, or about what the President has to say, for we as average citizens feel the pain and do not need others to explain it or make us feel patriotic. We have always avoided attacking terrorists nations starting back with Reagan who preferred Lybia over Syria, North Korea, and Iran and Bush who preferred Iraq over the other Syria, Iran and North Korea. We have dug this hole for ourselves and should concentrate on defensive measures for offensive tactics will feel good now but cause more problems later.
Darren, Somerville
Now that I know that a hijacked plane can be used as a guided missile, potentially killing thousands, I wonder what I would do if I were a passenger on such a plane.
Before yesterday, I always thought if I were on a hijacked plane I would sit still and do as I was told, for my sake and the sake of others on the plane. But now, maybe it's not only the military who protects our freedom. Maybe we all have to be willing to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of freedom.
