Television journalism brought this atrocity right into our living rooms, the way people in the UK feel about this, it may as well have happened in the City of London. No compassionate human being can possibly look at footage of this incident without heartbreak and tears. It is an event bigger than borders, language or religion and hopefully, out of the ashes of the fires of the WTC, will come people united by more than a flag or a place of worship.
Thanks for your comments Bill, they're much appreciated.
