Capt'n Clint's Place   A new Day of Infamy September 11, 2001

For Americans, September 11, 2001, will go down in history as a day the world changed. Like December 7, 1941 :   A new Day of Infamy.

"On 9.11, a surprise attack on America began in NYC when 1 of 4 hijacked commercial jetliners (AA Flight 11) was deliberately flown into 1 World Trade Center. Moments later the 2nd of 4 jetliners (UA Flight 175) flew deliberately into 2 World Trade Center. The 3rd of the 4 hijacked jetliners (AA Flight 77) is deliberately flown into the Pentagon, Washington, DC-Virginia. Passengers overtake the hijackers of the 4th jetliner (UA Flight 93), the plane diverts and crashes in Shanksville, Pennsylvania." - AII POW-MIA

"These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat, but they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve." - President George W Bush 9/11/01

In an interview with General Norman Schwartzkof, he was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness towards the people who have harboured and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attack. He answered:

"I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."
