The impact off the heinous terrorism has left the world aghast.
As a Polaris owner and fan I pass on my condolences to America as a Nation and to all of you individually who have suffered such a terrible loss.
Perhaps "an eye for an eye....and a tooth for a tooth" is the best way to express my feelings. I support you all in your grief and hope retribution and justice prevail.

I appreciate your sentiments. I have been wondering how the rest of the world was thinking. I have only heard a few comments from various leaders but none from regular people. There is still a great deal of shock and grief going on. But there is also a sense of pulling together and unity. The different political parties and such are all working together for a change. Petty bickering and such is nowhere to be seen. I have a feeling that much like Pearl Harbour woke the "sleeping giant" in WWII, this will wake us again. I think some country will realize they are a small dog who just bit the tail of a tiger. Please pray for our country.

Hi BK...I guess all civilised countries are numb with the news and frighteningly explicit TV coverage on CNN and ABC etc..
I can imagine how hard it is for the realisation of the full extent of the horror to sink in...we feel remote, angry, helpless and slightly apprehensive about America's retribution. I hope whatever course of action you guys take it is fast and effective and focussed.
I don't want to see a dispassionate court case or trial in 5 years time...I would like to see a smart effective lesson dealt out real soon.
