Sinister: "any mans death diminishes me because i am involved in mankind"

[jonathan skinner]

dear all
words can not really express what happened in america and how they made me 
feel. Perhaps sickened and shocked are the closest i can get to. At school 
there are 6 people that have no idea whether their loved ones are ok. I am 
over the pond in a town just outside Cork City and being in a country that 
has a long history of emigration to the US i am bound to know some that are 
affected. For instance a friend of mine at school's brother was at the trade 
centres on friday last in a meeting and was due to be back there on 
wednesday (yesterday) for one at 9 am .
   What happened was wrong and no matter what america have done in the past 
it shouldn't have ended (or should i say) started in this fashion. The 
thought of 30000 deaths sends a shiver down my spine so much so that i have 
barely been able to eat for the last couple of days. In ireland tomorrow the 
taoseach Bertie Ahern announced that there is to be a day of mourning and 
that everyone where possible should go to some sort of religeous service.  
That has never happened in the countries history.
I am not going to get involved in any of the politics of the situation 
because it is not worth it- There will always be people that disagree and i 
don't think now is the time for a political argument or argument of anykind 
on here.
Alot of the posts over the last couple of days have be really touching and 
although similar each have their own tale to tell and view to put forth.
I hope everyone is ok  and am glad at least that alot if not most of the NY 
sinisters are safe - it is unfortunate that the same can not be said about 
30000 others

jonathan
