Hi Gene
I've tried to think of how to write this without sounding patronising, I don't know if I've succeeded.... I hope I could behave as you did at the World Trade Centre; bravery, selflessness, initiative. I've not really been tested in that way, I guess part of my interest in survival, and other peoples' experiences, is to prepare myself should that ever occur. Having said that your individual experience, and that of many others that day, does not convince me that this war is right. This war will spawn many stories of individual heroism and tragedy on all sides..

I still haven't figured out what "panty waisting" means, I guess it doesn't translate well across the Atlantic. Anyone who wants to explain it to me feel free to PM. I promise I won't be offended

Justin, FYI it's panty waste, not waist. Think impotent and the insult should become a little more clear. Hope this helps, Ed
