FYI Doug,
I participated in anti-Gulf War protests in Boston. For that cause I did
not believe OUR (children's) blood should be spilled. For some causes we
must be willing to sacrifice our own (children's) lives. For some things
OUR collective purpose must outweigh the very possible loss of some of our
lives. This was well demonstrated by those heroes that took back the plane
over Pennsylvania. If the other planes had been aware of the cost of
cooperation I'm sure they would have also given their own lives to avoid the
bigger tragedy that ensued. I'm glad those people were up to the task
before them.
