Never Forget September 10th, 2005
Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of the barbaric attack on the United States by radical Islamic terrorists. Take some time to remember the innocent people that were killed in the attacks. Think about how far we have come since that day, and remember what you were feeling and thinking as you watched the towers collapse and thousands flee the churning gray cloud of debris. Remember the rescue workers who went up the stairwells as people escaped going down. Thank their families for their selfless service to the lives of others.
Think of how the response would have been different if AlGore had been president, how the world would be a different place today. I hope you realize that there are evil people who want to kill you and your family, no matter whether you support their cause or not. Understand that it matters who we elect to protect us from such threats, that your vote does matter and that the character of the person you elect matters. The true test of character comes not when things are good and easy going. They come when the Shit Hits The Fan. I think that Louisiana is discovering this the hard way, and that the country is damn lucky that GWB was in office when we were attacked.

Here are images and an article on the 200 people (estimated) who were forced to jump from the towers. The fall lastet about 10 seconds and death was instant and merciful.
Here are the names of those who were killed
