Talking about smoke - I saw some satellite photos of the buildings burning. It could be seen from space (from the International Space Station). Pretty freaky.

Europeans are afraid as well - of course. Of the possible chain of events as a consequence from the terrorism attack.

The terrorists have stated that they have spread all over the world, and can terrorize every country supporting U.S. Of course this is a frightening thought, but I hope no country is going to chicken out - as we need all the nations as one to fight against terrorism.

But these days of waiting are painful. The waiting of the decision, the first attack if it will come.

I\'m not saying you\'re lying Falcon, but perhaps your source is mistaken... I haven\'t heard about such things at least. All I know is that practically every European country is offering help - and especially all the NATO countries of course.

Sorry guys... maybe I get some lines wrong ?!
Falcon4, did you say that Europe is so scared about terrorism that they don´t do enough ??! I didn´t get the right meaning on your lines... please explain to me what you mean ???
What did you hear ? Please reply...

ok mebbe not in europe, but there was a boat that was hijacked outside of greece, and there wer american hostages aboard. the terrorists hated jews, so the forst one they killed was a guy in a wheelchair. he was jewish, and they stabbed him. he was still alive, he bit one of the terrorists int he hand and left a scar, then they shot him and threw him overboard. there was a big blood stain on the side of the boat. i cant remember the name of the boat, but it was outside of greece, and greece offered to give them a flight out of the area for free if they just stopped killing hostages.
the us would have gotten them, but greece chickened out and gave them a flight out.

i cant remember the name of the boat, if you remember, could you tell?

but i think that was one instance where a country buckled in the face of terrorism. i hope the United States sets an example of what to to to beat terrorists.

and theeye, i did not mean that europe was soo scared about terrorism that they wont help america they are giving alot of help and we are thankful.

I hadn\'t heard about that before Falcon. But I doubt Greece has the knowhow and tools to deal with such a situation. Not that my knowledge about the country is all that great, but I doubt they could even exist without EU funds and tourism. I don\'t think they\'re geared to deal with things like that, but perhaps I\'m mistaken... I dunno.

yeah mee to, after all, its only something i heard...

my knowledge of greece is next to nothing...


but i heard that greece let the terrorists get away and not keep them  until the us got there. im sure the SAS could have gotten there, but greece "gave in" and gave them a airplane and a flight to wherever they wanted.  no strings attached.

Boys, I think those storys are 30 years behind... Greece is a normal European Country with an industrial structure... not as high as in Germany, Holland, France etc., but ´far above Albania or such !

Anyway, did you see the latest?  Afghanistan promises revenge against any country that helps the US retaliate.

Are they TRYING to piss everyone off?

Also, with the acquiescense of the Pakistani gov., it will be interesting to see how they react to that.  Imagine, it would be like Canada telling Iraq they could use their air space to stage an attack on us.

But, on the side of caution, we should keep our eye on Pakistan, very closely.  Also, I would like to remind our European brothers and sisters on this board, that Afghanistan considers all of the countries in the UN targets if they back up America.  We all must be on guard.

Afghanistan is probably on panic state - as it\'s pretty clear it\'s going to be conquered in the way USA chooses very soon.

As a last effort, they make themselves look bigger to the world. They threaten eveybody, but the threats are pointless, as they don\'t have the resources to apply them.

thought I\'d revive this thread, seeing as it is the 2 year anny.  Kind of interesting reliving this thread and remembering the shock expressed by everyone.

Why I received an email telling that I\'m suscribed to this thread? Anyway, it\'s a good way to conmemorate the 2nd anniversary.

Wow... I read the first two pages and got goosebumps... What an event... Still very sad.

Prayers to the families who lost loved ones...
