Just some personal observations based on my travels today;
People old, young and in between have a very stern look on their faces, like a seething rage.
In a department store they were showing FOX news's footage of relatives who were looking for their lost ones. A group of kids, about 15-16, were watching in tears (male & female). All expressed that they want & need payback. One wanted to "nuke 'em all into to the stone age".
There isn't an American flag to be found in any store anywere in this area (suburban Detroit). Not even the tiny ones. They're cropping up everywhere on cars, homes and kids bikes.
ALL of the people I talked to express the need for us to take those countries that support terrorism to task and they don't care what it takes. I asked one guy if we shouldn't find out exactly who did it and target them selectively. He said; "HELL NO!! If we kill a few hundred thousand innocent terrorists on the way to getting those who did the deed then the world will be that much better off". Tough stuff.
The parking lot in front of the regional military recuiting office was packed.
The most heartbreaking thing I've heard was an answering machine tape played on the Mitch Album radio show (a local writer wrote "Weekends with Bernie", a prize winning book & TV movie). The husband was asleep when his wife called from one of the towers to say goodbye and tell him she loved him. She left her expressions on the tape just before the tower collapsed. That this kind of thing happened hundreds ff not thousands of times is too painful to think about.
A husband called his wife by cell phone from the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. He told her that their plane had been hijacked and that they were going to die. He also said that the men onboard were going to try to retake the plane. They suceeded in keeping their flight from being used as a terrorist missile at the cost of their own lives.
Impressions.
The people in this country have gone through many stages in the last few days. At first we were all shocked & stunned. This moved on into anger and outrage. With the stories of the goodbye calls and the recounting of the heroism on the Pennsylvania flight this has now evolved into a seething rage that is FAR beyond even the expressions of anger by our elected officials.
I feel sorry for the SOB's that pulled this off and the counrties that supported them. The American people are preparing for, and want, revenge on a massive scale.
