Once Again.....my discussion turns to the WTC tragedy. Who would ever have thought that the American people could care this much? I mean, the American people are often seen and thought of as apathetic idiots. Am I right? Don't answer that. And yet, now we all these people trying to help in all the ways we can possibly help. We're reacting in other ways of course..Bombing..this supposed War..it doesn't really feel like War..although, I don't really have anything to compare it to. But it really doesn't feel much like war. It feels like revenge. So what? So we suddenly care..hmm..I guess the deaths of what, 5000/6000? people made us get off of our butts and suddenly say.."hey, that's not right. We should do something about that." Or the common response of most.."This totally sucks." Uh huh. Maybe it's the fact that America is still a rather young country..as most people know. We're not in the infantile stage..I don't think we're even in the teen stage..I think we got out of that around the late 1700's or mid-1800's.. Hmm..maybe we just be described as young adults..we've broken free of the mother (or mother country in this case)..we're out on our own. We're holding a job, paying the rent...yada, yada, yada. We think we're fine...but we're not. We just dealt with something that we couldn't understand..and still are for that matter. So what do we do? We go out and get revenge. Yup, there's that nasty word again. There's only one little thing..we can't call it revenge, because then all those other countries who are Muslim won't like us. What, do you think they like us now? Or is it because revenge doesn't seem to be a very nice way of putting it. We're over our heads here, but we can't admit it. We're supposed to be acting like grownups now..so there. There we go. On one heck of a long path of destruction and mayhem and time wasting..money wasting...freaking..path of war..which is basically nothing other than our old friend: revenge. So we're screwed, right? Nooooo..of course not. Although it seems like Osama Bin Laden is. If they ever find him of course. Which they probably won't. They could bomb every Arabic country to smithereens..and probably never get him. And even if we did? You know someone would take his place. It's an unending cycle of death..revenge...death...revenge.. see a pattern developing here? For some reason..this makes me think of that Roald Dahl book..The Witches.. You can kill whatever number of witches or Osama Bin Ladens there are..there's always someone or something that will take their places..evil always exists..just the ways that it manifests itself changes..Satan is always around..Osama Bin Ladens are always around...witches..bugs.. You can't get around it..but you also can't just sit on your butt and let it go on. We have to do this..maybe if you want to use revenge as your reason..then use it. Personally..I think (this is sort of revenge)..but I think we should do it for the memory of those who died on September 11, 2001.
