Aug 6th and 9th are also the "anniversaries" of the a-bombs n Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Personally, although horrendous, I think that action saved millions more lives.... "militant pascifism"(sp?) as Einstein justified it. Wish it was dropped on Hitler's Germany instead, but I think it's important to look back sometimes on these sorts of events and remember, not only the sacrifice of soldiers on days like 11/11...but also the millions of civilians who have sacrificed so much through history as well. Unfortunately this still continues, though on a much smaller level....
