I am glad that everyone that I've had contact with is safe. And for all of us , that goes without saying, but what of those who we haven't had contact with that have been damaged or killed by today's event. I didn't loose anyone that I had contact with at the World Trade Center, but I feel as affected by these actions as if I did. These are American lives that we are talking about, innocent American lives lost on American soil!
This didn't happen is some foreign country that has 4 enemy boarders surrounding it, this isn't about a thousand year old tribal war that as a people we are part of, it's a senseless slaughter of of our fellow countrymen and innocent children that has made it's way overseas to our shores.
We are bombarded by newsreels containing millions of crazed people from other lands burning our flag , chanting death to the US every week, look at the faces in those crowds.... now take the children out of the mix because they are still innocent.....all of those crazed people were children and were able to grow into these adults, or as governments call them , innocent civilians....
Are these not the people responsible or at least enabling of such horrors to happen on our shores?
I'm sorry if this offends anyone , but diplomacy hasn't worked, sending our children to fight in other lands to rid the world of evil hasn't worked, we just allow our children to come home in a box! The only thing that has changed is that more Americans have died trying to bring justice to unjust people.
Retro Rocket, I wish there was a way to fix this without seeming indiscriminate, I wish that all peoples could live in peace , I wish there was no poverty and food was plentiful for everyone and I wish this world to be better than it is , but it isn't and we are dying on our own soil for reasons that don't even apply to most of us. It's got to stop, and justice should be sever and swift for those parties responsible. If you know of a peaceable plan please share it with us, I fear that this nation has lost hope and humanitarian approaches to this problem has only been answered with more violence on our shores. I watched this attack and it feels like 911 all over again maybe not 3000 lost but even one American life lost to terrorism is too many . My heart goes out to all those affected by these events.
If there is another option please share. I am desperate to find a better solution.
