The U.S. Postal Service decided that admist the absolute horror of yesterday to announce a 9 percent hike in first class postage. The Postal Service should be ashamed of itself for deciding to take advantage of a day when most people's attention and prayers were focused mostly on those who suffered from yesterday's terrible attacks. For the Postal Service to announce such a thing yesterday is just another example of the sloppy, disgusting way it does business. Shame on them for their total lack of sensitivity and compassion.

The primary emotion that I feel is rage. Rage at the cowardice and brutality of these horrible acts. The attack on the World Trade Center has no military or strategic bearing, merely it was to promote fear.
To feel vulnerable is merely furthering their cause, allowing them to win. This is America, and to change who we are, what we do, and how we live, provides these "people" with a victory. We must continue with the task at hand of finding those still left alive. Also, we must live our lives as Americans, play baseball, play football, go back to work, send our children to school, but the American way of life MUST NOT CHANGE. To change would allow them a victory they did not earn

As an American, we will never lose our freedom. We are blessed to live in this great country. However, our sense of security has been rocked in the way these terrorists were able to board planes in our airports armed. We have to address these processes and make the necessary changes countrywide and at our borders.

I feel vulnerable and afraid to go to work today. I wish my employer could have been more flexible about giving the employees a choice to go to work today. I hope nothing happens today. I love my husband and hope I see him again.
Tim, Melrose
We all have a sense of fear with us, but we are the strongest Nation in the free world and this will make us even stronger.

Yesterday America indeed changed. But I firmly beleive that our greatest weapon against whoever set these events in action is America's optimism and belief in a free and open society. So I don't want to read about how this will effect the economy, or how we failed in preventing this tragedy. Rather we should comfort and aid those who have had a serious lost, discover who is responsible, and most of all move forward with confidence and strength.
Scott Lewis, Gardiner, ME.
We can only hope that the country has indeed changed. If not the country, at least the populations perceptions. Being ex-military from the cold war days, I have seen first hand, what a precarious edge this country walks every day. People here in this country have a mental separation between civilians and military. That is because our ideals are still stuck in the 1940's. We are at war. This war has no civilians. If you watched the news yesterday, there was a good chance you saw the reaction to these attacks by the Palistineans. Thier children were laughing and cheering. They hate us. They believe we are evil. They are taught this from the day they are born. Every American death is a victory to them. THAT is the real world. THAT is what we are up against. Like in 'Nam every one of those kids we are trying to protect would strap on a bomb and give thier lives just to take yours. I hope we can remember that when this gets ugly. It will get ugly. We will do "bad" things. If we do not, we will lose this war, and America as we know it will be lost.

Yesterday is a blur, as if it were some kind of a bad dream in slow motion. These things just dont happen in America! The safety and security I have felt my whole life in this wonderful country vanished yesterday. It makes you realize how very vulnerable we all are, how fragile life is and how easily it can be taken away. The one bright light in this whole tragedy is how we as a country have pulled together to help the victims and their families... sometimes people are at their best ~ when things are at their worst. I applaud the Red Cross, the Firefighters,the Police Force and all the other people that have joined together in our time of need. We have not seen war on our soil since the Civil War. We are a strong country and have alway perservered... Let History repeat itself ~ We will prevail. God Bless America.

As a frequent visitor to your wonderful city, my thoughts and prayers are with you as the world tries to come to grips with this international disaster.
Know that, as a nation, the British are very much with you in this time of need
God bless and keep you all

For the last seven years my wife and I have had the good fortune to vacation in St. Lucia. Every time I go through the Boston terminal with my camera bag I am never asked to open and take apart my camera. But every time I leave St Lucia I must take my camera apart for inspection. I thought the equipment in Boston was more sofisticated then St Lucia, that's why they required more scrutiny. I guess I was wrong. I rather go to the airport three hours before my schedule flight and receive a more thorough check of my carry-on baggage, if that is what it takes to feel more secure.
