September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed/called me/my parents asking if I am ok. I am, and I will keep this short as I don't have anything much to contribute to what you already know. Yesterday I saw the smoke billowing from the Pentagon and the streets suddenly gridlocked for hours then empty, the skies over DC unusually quiet except for F-16s circling high above. At one point a lone airliner, probably the last to land, came in on an unusual flight track, headed right towards the office balcony on which we stood. Some people jumped back into the offices. It came closer and closer, then pulled up and away. Yesterday, as today, people can be seen studying the skies as they walk, and the sound of an airplane is enough to stop traffic. Today, walking to work, I passed a few HUMWVEEs, manned by soldiers, stationed at each major intersection. Perhaps an overreaction, but this is still a nation in shock. I spoke to some friends in New York, two of whom live within five blocks of where the World Trade Center was. One slept through everything. The other saw both buildings collapse and was covered in dust and soot. Perhaps the most disturbing conversation I had was with a friend who is still in college. She was sitting, eating breakfast with a dozen friends yesterday morning, when one of their cell phones rang. It was their parents, onboard one of the planes, telling them that a hostess had been stabbed and wishing them goodbye. Being me, I have to end with a touch of editorial. People have been calling this the cowardly act of madmen. Neither description is constructive or true. To do what these people did took enormous courage, created by enormous passion. In the long term the only solution to the terrorist problem will be to remove the reason behind their passion by ending Western support for the thuggish oil regimes, and supporting third world development. In the short term, however, bring them to justice. And if they can't be brought, kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. Josh.
