Yes, for those who are even the least bit religious, now is the time for pray for the fallen victims, the injured and the good folks who will be helping with the rescue; police, fire and medical workers, they all need our prayers for strength, as do the families of those killed or injured today.
Pray too, for our nations leaders, that they will be safe, and that the resources of our government will be effectively used to quickly identify the source of this outrage against America and it's people, and that our highest officials, including the President, will respond in a way that will prevent this from happening again by punishing those in any way involved, and by punishing the countries that aid in causing destruction and sudden death to innocent people.
This act of cowardice must not be allowed to stand. America must retaliate. Terrorist's bases must be destroyed, terrorist's financial resources must be clamped off and nations that choose to support and shelter such terrorists must pay the price for that aid that kills Americans. This must be stopped. This is no time for half-measures, 'diplomacy' and hot air from politicians.
This is a time for swift and decisive retaliation from the most powerful, freest nation on earth. If we cannot respond with force to this outrage, what will it take?
This is a time of testing for President George W. Bush; the world will be watching not only what we say, but what we, as a nation do in this time of crisis. We must act, soon and with the full measure of our military might if necessary.
This terrorist act cannot stand, because if it is explained and apologized away by the leadership of our country, we are doomed to see it happen over and over again, worse each time. We must act, not just talk. This outrage against America must be answered.
