Well I guess Australia kept their head in the sand long enough. They are no longer immune to the Al Queda attacks. Their Prime Minister has pledged support to Bush but no troops which will justify an attack from the Al Queda. This also reigns true for Finland, as we all know of their recent attack. Not sure where their Government stands on the issue of "War on Terrorism", but seems the world is no longer safe.
I know a lot of Rugby Players from around the world and Hong Kong who may have lost their lives in the attack. It has been a popular hangout for CX pilots and it will take a week or more to know if we have lost any. It will be tense couple of weeks.
This just goes to show you, that if you keep your head in the sand, hope it will go away, or hope that is will not affect you, or I should be safe here, you are sadly mistaken. The world is going to be a scary place in the next couple of years, so we may as well face the facts. We are all involved.
You can draw your own parallels.
The emergencies you train for almost never happen. It's the one you can't train for that kills you.
