[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] Attacks against America European Invasion - Civilian (1500's onwards) Pearl Harbor - Mostly military* Marine Barrack in Lebannon - Military U.S.S. Cole - Military Oklahoma City - Mostly Civilian* World Trade Center - Civilian* U.S Embassies - Military* I am not counting State and Federal Employees as Civilians Liam, I think this is what 1st was getting at. We aren't talking about the Blitz, the Battle of Britain, the atomic bombimgs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki(sp?), the fire bombings of the Ruhr, or the sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway, although they all are regretable. The reason for this is the WTC was in our time, in our home. Our home, which, in our general arrogance, we believed to be untaintable. It is the damage to our pride and arrogance that we are having a rough time dealing with. The thousands of lives lost hurt us, but not in they way that the attack showed our vulnerability. McVeigh took our innocence, bin Laden took our safety net. [/QB][/QUOTE]
