What we witnessed on Tuesday, Sept. 11, should not, and will not ever be forgotten. The cowardice displayed by these terrorists is sickening.

But even more sickening is the reaction to these events by some in Palestine. Celebrating and dancing through the streets, the Palestinians thanked God and took delight in the misfortune of the United States. It makes me wonder what the true intentions of the Palestinians really are.

Perhaps if the Palestinian supporters that faithfully grace Library Mall are not too embarrassed, they can explain to me why I should support the movement for a free Palestinian state when they show this type of behavior.
