Attack on the World Trade Center: Students react

Today's horrendous events have produced immediate devastation unprecedented in our short history of domestic terrorism. As hard as it may be to contemplate, these losses were probably not the primary goal of the terrorists. More likely they were merely bloody stepping stones along which to prod the United States toward becoming, irretrievably, a police state. \nThose who truly hate America will be most interested in watching our government pull the plug on our Bill of Rights -- already in critical condition as "collateral damage" in the War on Drugs and the War for Votes. \nThe sweetest revenge against America will be watching the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave become, by our own hand, the Land of Papers, Please, and the Home of Staying Home.
