I have relatives and friends working in the financial district of Manhattan. Fortunately for myself and my family all are safe and phsically well, although it did take many hours of anxiety to actually hear that they were alright. I fully agree with your points, but it does make you think why after previous atrocities that have befallen the UK, in particular the Omagh bombing. Why do we still have to pussyfoot with Republican/Loyalist terrorists over such matters as weapon decommissioning? Terrorists have no place in our society! Either join the human race and hand over all weapons or be treated as a terrorist and have justice brought upon you!
Thousands have been killed and maimed in the island of Ireland. We have seen enough, as have the Americans!
My thoughts are with the families of the missing in NYC and DC, and to the friends that my brother will never see again.
Rest in Peace
