I have issues with this statement. I'm not sure an act of God should be compared to an act of terrorism. Especially since there are plenty of other acts of God that have taken more lives than 9/11 that would be, I think, more appropriate comparisons.
That is all.

I keep waiting for a nice apocalypse. I think my attitude and skillset are best employed in a post apocalyptic wasteland type setting. I especially like the part where you fight off rabid plague zombies.
Maybe next time.
