This is the most incredible event of my life, hell all of our lives! I am Canadian, but I work a lot in the US and I have many friends and relatives there and I still feel like it is some terrible nightmare. My heart is burdened with the extreme loss suffered by our best friends. There are no two countries in the world like us. We share so many common interests, beliefs and feelings that sometimes you cannot tell us apart. When I travel to the States, one of the biggest compliments that I receive is blending in. I feel at home in the States, just like in Canada. It is my second home.

Reasonable people do not do this. The cowardly bastards who did this will probably not have the balls to even admit it. It is one thing to make war against a countries military, but to attack innocent civilians is the lowest, most despicable act anyone could perpetuate.

Terrorism has been with us for many centuries and we have learned that it solves nothing. Acts like this against anyone is not acceptable and must be punished.

Most people will regard this as an act of terrorism. But is was not. It was an act of war. And as such, it must be treated as such.

Democracies like the US are very susceptible to acts like this. In a FREE country, individual freedoms and rights are fundamental. The dangers to a free country have always been balanced in favor of the individual rights and individual freedoms and as such an act like this can and obviously did happen. What will change now? Are we prepared to make the necessary changes to protect us against another act?

I travel through many airports throughout North America very frequently. While security is generally good, it is not as good as in countries that have suffered. In Canada, some leeway is given to members of religious sects to carry their ceremonial daggers on Canadian flights. I wonder if this the same in the US? The weapons were probably a the size of a knife, anything larger would be detected.

It is very hard for me to express myself now, my emotions are getting the better of me.


My heart goes out to all Americans,

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
