So do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. ~Gandalf the Grey, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

Thanks for posting this. Even from this part of the world, disbelieve (at what had happened) is still the word.
We've got to remain strong, and soldier to the end. For the judgement will be fair.
Thank you las montanas, I appreciate your words. I think other countries perceive us and our hearts as arrogant and impenetrable; but we hurt like every human being, even our leader. Our spirits are strong, but we do feel the pain.
Yeah... I thought I was watching Ultraman when I first saw the planes crashing into the building on TV. I couldn't believe that it was actually happening, with people losing their lives.
Yeah Harvey. I wish it just never happened at all.
I wish we could have prevented it somehow. Where we are now in Iraq and our relationships with other countries?.. could be different.
Seeing that clip by Enya.. I just got to put this quote from Gandulf
"So do all that come to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
HEY! that's pretty cool! I typed that out and included it under the slides. I like it. Thanks for mentioning it las montanas. :D
Annie, there is another 911 tribute with very moving words and music from Loreena Mckennitt.

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me
I finally found this Monty. You're a blessing. Thank you. I love this tribute on YouTube!
