I was taxiing in a jet in Cincinnati when the first plane hit. The pilot told us that there was a national ground stop because a plane had just hit the world trade center in NY. By the time we returned to the gate, they told us the second tower was hit and it looked like terrorism. I rented a car from Avis at the normal rate and drove back to Green Bay - the long way! I avoided Chicago because I thought they would be an excellent target for another strike and I thought the highways would be crowded since nobody was flying. I drove two hours out of my way to go around.

Understanding and relating to Jihadists is an ignorant strategy. We need to send them to Allah instead.
