More of the less reliable stuff:
The FBI is said to be following an airplane (presumed hijacked) on its way
to Washington.

Now *that* would be a bad idea. If some government is behind these attacks,
and nuclear weapons are used to retaliate, even more innocent people will
be killed. What good will that do? Can president Bush then tell the world
that he is PROUD to have avenged the deaths of thousands of innocent
American civilians by killing thousands of innocent civilians in an other
country?
Haven't enough innocent people died already today?

Not if the US decides to use nuclear weapons to get their revenge. I know
that the entire country will demand revenge, but "an eye for an eye, a
tooth for a tooth" is not the path for civilised Western nations to follow.
That method should stay where it belongs: in the past.

If the US would be crazy enough to use nuclear weapons, then you better
pray that your god has mercy on all Americans -- because there is no doubt
in my mind that many more of them will then die in terrorist attacks.
