I have a friend in Belgium who called me to see how I was, because I live in DC. She was telling me that everything there is chaos as well. Traffic is stand still, embassy is obviously closed, chaos in the streets, etc. She tells me after talking to her coworkers and friends and family that the general consensus seems to be fear that our government will overreact and begin WW3. She was supposed to come visit me at the end of the month. I wonder if that'll be possible.
Anyways, from talks with friends and coworkers, the most interesting things I hear going around are the comparisons to Pearl Harbor, the date 911-2001, the govt new in advance but Bush wants a reason for war, USAF shot down the PA flight before it could reach the white house, etc.
Oy. That's all I can say... my head is like marmalade.
