After all, it is my little sister's birthday. Need to keep that chin up, eh?

In a way this is a sad day, as we look back on what happened, but it is also a day to be proud. We survived, we are rebuilding, and we are moving on.

Osama bin Laden, assuming he is still alive, is cowering in some hole somewhere. The Taliban have lost control of Afghanistan, and are also in hiding (what is left of them).

I wonder who won the first major exchange....

But it is not over by a long shot. An enemy you can't see can be even more dangerous. The Taliban will not stop until they are all dead or in prison.

All too true. The war is far from over, but looking back over the Last year, it is good to know that America was not brought to its knees in terror as its attackers had hoped, but united and rose up to rebuild. I have no illusions that we are done with terrorism, or that solving all of the problems associated with or leading to terrorism will be easy. I am, however, very proud of the American people and their response to this attack.

It was interesting reading this thread...

This was back in a time when most of us were getting to know one another... It is good to read from familier posters and some of the ones who have not been here in a while...

Out of the media blitz that has become this day i wish that everyone would read

http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101...o.html?cnn=yes

It is true to the heart... ( my opinion....) I also think that Time did a great tribute Last year with the list of names and pictures...

As well as U2 and the 'Where the streets have no names' and the list of names on the two towers.

Take Care everyone and i hope this finds you in greater spirits.... as the day goes by...

And one year later it's still the same.
How depressing.
