I am not putting this as a means of putting my word count up but because of the sheer display of shock from the people of SR there is no possible way to be able to see which post I am talking about.
ALi, your speech was 100% true and whilst reading through the posts the same has been said but in many different words showing there views on this crisis of horror and disbelief. I'm only 14 and to learn that in a matter of hours, days, weeks or maybe months then a major war could possibly be brought to the attention of the world.
I could not possibly believe what I saw when the television was turned on and my first thoughts were' How can a human being be brought to this level'. A human being just like you and me was capable of this and because of there believe they went to action and the result is devastating.
There isn't much I can say that will help the victims or help in anyway it like you said Ali it really isn't a great feeling, if a war was to be a result of this then even though not old enough I would be willing to sign up and bring relief to the victims relatives.
What will this result in? Schools being closed? Trade will obviously be affected majorly, but after around 50,000 people dying I don't think that is something to worry about at this moment in time.
I hope the terroists are burning in hell as we speak and this situation is never to be seen again. May the victims rest in peace.

Damn, did he look affected.

Clever words from a clever man.
