From the Paper:

"I resolved, however, to put my thoughts on paper. I began penning several letters to editors of national newspapers and magazines. I pored over my writing, and when I put words on paper, I felt that mine were the only words that would bring our world from the brink of further disaster. We all lost something dear on September 11th, and for me, that something dear was my peace of mind. I truly felt that our carefree days were over, and without the knowledge and understanding I would impart to the world through my essays and letters, those carefree days would never return."
