At work. Somebody came through and said something about the WTC being 
bombed. We had a small TV and watched live coverage until the first tower 
fell, then the owner told us to get back to work.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - 
doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up 
the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the duke of Wellington and let them 
debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has 
settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary 
opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forgot this basic 
truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."
