Couldn't have said it better! Sadly these sick, twisted individuals are all to prevalent. I'm sure that better minds than mine are working on methods of dealing with them. I only hope that the cure will not be almost as bad as the disease. I know that this is easy to say for someone who has not been personally involved in either New York, Madrid, London or any of the other willful acts of barbarity but I do know and appreciate the freedom that we enjoy as Americans and if they are surrendered for a slight increase in security the terrorists will have won.

This is yet another of those sad days that we all have to bear far too often in these times. My heart goes out to those who have suffered losses.
We all know the VFB is not a political forum, but at times, friends and "family" need to take the forefront. Despicable acts such as these are not to be tolerated. These are not the acts of sane individuals. As so many Brits supported us during 9/11, I, personally, am committed to supporting you in any endeavor your country may undertake in seeking justice for these horrible acts.
You have my voice...use it as you may.
Sincerely...byard
