    So meaningful only in 3 lines, with least words. I couldn't think, mesmerize with this angle too.

    2 see tons of steel concrete being razed down is indeed mesmerizing albeit a gruesome one, hw can God ask sumone to seek revenge on his behalf...Al-Qaeda is indeed an institution of madmen.....
    As far as d Haiku is concerned wat can i say..three powerful lines.. :)

    any war that kills innocent people , and is targetted towards innocent HOW CAN THAT BE JIHAAAD...

    in the attack more outsiders died then americans itself ...

    Jihaad? Killing in the name of God?

    I think most of us here would call it a cowardly act of murder. The word I would use to describe how I felt as those towers came down, bringing our way of life down with them, is stunned. I was stunned with horror.
