I am ready to just go and bomb the hell out of whoever did this. I 
realize that is not the solution and in the long run wouldn't make me 
feel any better.  Sorry for rambling but my parents are in bed and 
there is no one else to talk to.

I share your sentiments, and your prayers. I'm sure most people do -- 
probably more the "bomb them" thoughts, than the prayers or thoughts of 
reason, though. It would be so easy to justify "letting God sort them 
out": show everybody we're strong; bring the "bad guys" to justice; 
deter terrorist activity in the world; other governments think we 
should do it...I'm sure there are more "reasons". I pray that we are 
able to satisfy all those reasons without ending up with a solution 
that we are ashamed to tell our children about.
