I live about an hour's drive south of DC, right next to a military base. When I heard about what happened, I couldn't believe it, it had to have been a joke of some sort, but quickly the reality of it hit me and shock set in, after that it was sorrow, then the rage hit me. Those of you who know me, know me to be a peaceful man, someone who could be called a pacifist, but after seeing what happpened, if it takes a war to make them pay, lets do it. As far as the Palestinians go, if you noticed their leader did not join in the celebrating, and he in fact was opposed to it.

News reports this morning had people from Richmond talking, American-Arabs. They spoke of the racism that they were facing, the vandlism and the threats on their lives.

"Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

don't tread on me" - Metallica, "Don't tread on me"

We are a country united. These terrorist, these monsters will pay for their crimes, and I hope they pay in blood. We are a nation set out to end the threat of terrorist, may God have mercy on them, I know I wouldn't.
