I'm not a flamer 'Guest" but people who have something of any substance to say usually step out of the closet and put a name and smiley face to what it is they have to tell us. You appear to be having a little trouble conveying exactly what it is thats troubling you. Come on- out with it man.
I think none of us are under any illusions that the next terror strike could happen to any of us at any time. It would even be a fair bet to suggest that mudcatters along with members of every other community will be represented in the next casualty list. It could as well be me as you. What is important is to live all of our life as though it is about to end. A life truly lived is not wasted but a long life unlived is its own tragedy. Sooner rather than later these madmen will try again. I intend living life regardless of them. and yes Mary it is worth having children- they are the only possible future for all of humanity. to not have them 'just in case' is to surrender already.

Peace and love
