7. frustration, fury and disbelief that the world was being ignored, terrible

fear for the Iraqis that were facing annihilation by
Shock and Awe and terror of the army getting gassed
because Dimbutt lied to us. I couldn't sleep for days
and I still feel fury.

8. and no sig lines, Skinner had to spare as much bandwidth as possible

things were pretty busy around here. Hard to download pages at times.

Was glad to have DU that day. Would've lost what's left of my mind without this place to get some news, views and vent. It was a place to go when you couldn't sleep.

12. Most of us were in shock. We couldn't believe what was happening!

One year later, and we still can't believe it!
