A real hero is someone who does the right thing when no one's looking.

Heroes are the ones that do what has to be done because no one else has the guts to do it.

Fer golly's sake don't let Tony Blair hear you say that.

I would prefer my heroes to exhaust diplomatic possibilities before wading in without popular support.

^ True. and what Robin said can apply to lots of every day heroes. People who question authority.. or stand up to bullies, act as advocates. And people who do jobs that I wouldn't have the guts to do, like be a firefighter and run into a burning building.

I remember when 9/11 happened. This one guy came from nowhere and started helping dig out survivors.
He wrote their names nown on a handkerchief he had.
When they asked him who he was he said he was a guy waking along and saw that someone needed help. They asked why he did it he said "It just felt like the thing that needed doing".
He never gave his name or anyhting,, then he broke down and cried for the ones that didnt make out alive.
 To me that was a hero.

Just read in the paper today that intelligence says that there will be another terrorist attack in the US some time in the next three months.  In the past they have said that the San Francisco Bay Area is a highly targeted area because we are home base for research and development of military weapons by companies like NASA and Lockeed. And we are also the heart of R&D for computer technology in the US.  It's a stressful place to live. I can't wait to move. There is nothing of any importance to our economy where we are moving too. Shoot, the nearest grocery store is 35 miles from us.

But as far as all this terrorist stuff goes. The whole idea is to terrorize everyone. Is it working? You tell me.

We all live and die. Life goes on. Best any of us can do is enjoy each day, try to live out as many dreams as possible and die with few regrets.

The terrorists won. They did what they set out to do, they destroyed our way of life.

They win long time ago,loss of privacy,more money and tools to multiple security organizations,whistle blowing buttons and phone lines etc. are all marks to degradation of western democracy.

Just as terrorist wish and this could be beginning of nightmare.
