I'm writing my journal post here, coz it seems more relevant to this thread than any other. Note, the first collision was at around 1am, my time.

K, I woke up from a dream about what you AmeriCanadians call either Pop or Soda. 3am. Never mind the dream. Text message from Emma, no worries. Replied. I'm sure she didn't get the reply, for some reason, my texts only work half the time.
Five minutes later, I get a call on the phone, and quickly checked who it was - unknown international caller. What the hell is Emma ringing me for?
Me: "Hello?"
Mum: "Hi Daniel!"
Me, thinking: Not Emma... but... what the hell is Mum ringing my mobile for?
Me: "Hey Mum..."
Mum, interrupting: Daniel, have you heard the news?
Me: What? It's 3am...
Mum: It's big. *explains rather quickly* I only have a small amount of money left on my phone, so I have to go now.
Me: Ok... I love you Mummy.
Mum: Mummy Mummy?
Me, rolling eyes: I LOVE YOU MUMMY.
Mum: Oh! I love you too Daniel... bye!
Me: Bye.

So many thoughts, after I checked the radio (news station). Note, these thoughts lasted all morning until now. (10:44am)
What if that happened to Emma? Is that why she didn't reply, coz she's scared about this stuff, and is watching it? Jeez...
Proto lives in DC...
Black Mage lives in New York... my cousin is there, right? Oh, my...
Unne is in Pittsburgh...
Too many friends.
*later*
OMG... Umi and Scoot are wanting to meet soon, and their border is sealed...
OMG! Poor Jewels... she can't go to USA...
God, this bites, big time. I'm pretty shook up, and I'm in New Zealand, for God's sake...
EDIT: Not NATO? Ah, k. Never mind the following then:
NATO needs to be a little less quick to the mark. Sure, some person FROM there might've done something. But... did everyone in the capital over there deserve to be killed? What happens when NATO (could) find out that it was someone from Iraq, or even Israel? That person won't be too hot with it.
Then again... NATO probably has some kind of reason that we don't know about, eh? But still... 90% sure is not enough to take millions of lives. That's just as low as the terrorists.
What is a terrorist? Someone who causes terror. I reckon a lot of Afghanistans will be terrified by NATO right now. Makes you think, don't it?
