"Awakening "


Date: 19 Sep, 2001



They say that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. With the recent WTC bombing, the terrorists united americans and the whole world.
I especially felt proud of the way the americans handled the situation... the firefighters chanting "USA! USA!", the houses and establishments proudly displaying the american flag, the first year medical students who though cannot understand what to do in such emergencies, gave blood (the best they could do), the countless volunteers and blood donors... all of them a living proof to president bush's statement that the bombs of the terrorists could melt the steels of the buildings, but could never destroy the steel of american resolve.
The terrorists succeeded alright. They succeeded in awakening the spirit of the american people. No nuclear weapon could ever destroy that. They may try but that's all they could do.
