When we bomb another country it’s a just action, We’re the good guys. When they bomb us it’s terrorism regardless of what the United states has done to contribute to the situation.

The killings at the world trade towers on 9-11 were despicable, as is all killing of innocent victims. And almost all killings in terrorism or war are of innocent victims.

But here’s the deal, friends, you read what you read, agree and deem true that which strikes a chord in you. I read what I read and do the same thing.
Opinions don’t change with debate, we each think the other is a fool for believing what we do and more often than not the hate arises and can’t be put away.

And unless one of us was there we don’t know. We trade the views of what we have read and agree with but ultimately, we do not know.
Many of us can’t count on our governments to give us the truth, we can’t count on the media to give us the truth. Others believe it whole cloth.
I’m not going to get into what I believe from somebody else’s beliefs about what happened.

People are dead on our shores, shores around the world, that’s the only thing we absolutely know for sure. Dead people because of government policy, radical fundamentalists, whatever…dead people who didn’t have a voice in these actions.

That we are all a part of planet earth, carbon based, bi-peds, is not something that the world has ever grasped. Why should we all work together when we could smash those folks over there and get something more for our side?
Money, Power, land, is all up for grabs to the mightiest warriors and this is how it’s always been since the first bully crawled out of the ooze.

What will it take for this to change? UFOs landing and pissing on your neighborhood?

Alien Jesus bringing us news of bigger worlds, larger universes? Will we then enter into a Gene Rodenberry scenario where the entire earth is a home team in a galaxy of opponents?

All I can really give you on this year anniversary of the Trade Tower Murders is this:
Don’t wish upon some other country what you would not endure for your country.
Don’t wish upon others what you would not wish to have done to you or your loved ones.

If you want to catch a terrorist by bombing out a village and killing hundreds or thousands to get to a handful then you must also be willing to have that happen to you and your loved ones.
If a suicide bomber is found next door to your house are you willing to be killed just to make sure he is stopped, punished? You think this can’t happen to you?

That isn’t a fair way to put it, Buck! Why isn’t it? Why are you more fit to live than a sheepherder’s family? Because you live in a ‘civilized’ country? Because you have indoor plumbing? Because you are so far removed from humanity that you don’t see that the foreign guy with a name you can’t pronounce and beliefs you feel are stupid is still, depsite all differences from you, still is a human being and has people he loves?

I don’t have a good answer to how to stop war, terrorism, governments run wild.

But I dont’ want to bomb your house to catch the assholes that shot bottle rockets at my windows the other night just to make sure I get them. (I’m watching for you fellas by the way. bottle rockets? I’ll show you bottle rockets)

I am not a pascifist, I do firmly believe in an eye for eye, but not everybody’s eyes and the heads attatched.

I wish you peace, or at least a clean shot at the bastards who kill the innocent if you see them do it.

Be nice to each other, it does more good than you think. It’s may seem like a small start, but it is a start.

May your ponies by swift and your arrows fly straight.
