    So meaningful only in 3 lines, with least words. I couldn't think, mesmerize with this angle too.

    2 see tons of steel concrete being razed down is indeed mesmerizing albeit a gruesome one, hw can God ask sumone to seek revenge on his behalf...Al-Qaeda is indeed an institution of madmen.....
    As far as d Haiku is concerned wat can i say..three powerful lines.. :)
