Caren Krutsinger August 3, 2021 at 4:43 AM I am saddened that this could happen anywhere; and it can. Thank you for the reminder that it often unites the rest of us.

Jennifer Proxenos July 30, 2021 at 10:50 AM Life has become so cheap my friend, reminds me of Hamlet Shakespeare but in my words, not his, ' for to live or to die meant so little to him, and the dawn of each day was beginning to dim' - these terrorists have nothing to lose, and nothing to live for, humanity is sad sometimes dear Sunshine Smile. hugs and love. Jenifer.

Sara Kendrick July 30, 2021 at 3:23 AM I did not remember that one. I guess we remember things that are closer to home. You know it was in September 2011 that the attack happened here. So they were only 2 months apart. Did the same group carry out both attacks? I will look that up. Thanks for the visit to my page. I know that was hard on your country and the people who lost loved ones. Thanks for the visit to my page . Sara

Panagiota Romios July 23, 2021 at 12:53 PM Hi Anne Lise. The Middle east is rising up against the West 0ur leaders sold out....they live under protection. we have none Pangie XXOO Panagiota Romios August 8, 2021 at 3:12 PM Anne Lise...8/9..... The USA is withdrawing from Irraq and so in just a few weeks, two major cities were taken back. Guess people forgot 9/11? And planes being blown out of thre skies! I see more to come. It's pathetic and a tragedy. Our refusal to realize some nations are violent. Panagiota Anne-Lise Andresen July 26, 2021 at 10:04 AM Thanks
