     I don't believe you see the enormity of the Terrorist Network on a Global
     Basis.
     When England Played  America's National Anthum in a Public Ceremony
     Yesterday , One gets a glimpse of the seriousness of what occurred in
     New York City on September 11 2001. This was an assault on Freedom
     revering people on a global scale. There is much to be considered .
     I can't express in words my sadness and anger.
     You are certainly entitled to your Opinions.
