Russell, I like the way you describe the impact of this event on the entire world. Indeed, pain was felt in many hearts across the globe. Pres. Bush initiated plans for revenge immediately and I think he will be remembered most for this, even though it took nearly 10 years to find and punish the perpetrator bin Laden. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so take pride in your achievement. Love, Carolyn
