My feelings on the whole thing right now...I really don't know. I think we are being left out of something. I think there are things going on that the general public has no clue about. Following are my opinions on the matter. If you dont like em, ignore it. We have the US Military performing operations which go incomplete (IE: Saddam). This only makes matters worse. In America there are a few people with really huge voiceboxes that complain if we accidentally bomb something that isnt a military target, then Congress votes and decides they arent going to get re-elected if they allow the military to continue operations and pretty much force a pull-out when the job's not done.
This only enfuriates the militia states into thinking the US is out to practice bombing other countries for the fun of it, to make someone famous, or that they may be able to "get away" with any actions made against us in favor of making them a more popular person in there country or the world. I had never heard of Osama until the 11th. As far as I know, we sent someone over there and waxed his whole family and now he's upset and wants revenge. That's just it...I don't have any clue what this guy is thinking, or why he would be upset at us...except that he thinks he might become world famous and live.
I'm sure I'm probably completely off base on this, but what am I supposed to think? I'm not saying he was in the right, in fact, I am completely appalled by what happened, I felt sick to my stomache, but I still pressed on. That wasnt going to stop me from going to work. It actually enticed me to go, to work harder. I think it brought out the patriotism that everyone has for this country. Unfortunately, it brought out the greedy, trying ot market on that, but I personally look at the flag more closely these days. I think of all the people who fought and still fight for our country. My little brother is aboard a Navy Destroyer that was sent over there as a carrier escort. The ship's not there anymore, but it could be in less than a day if it needed to be. That's the power America holds, but doesnt excess in. I think that tells more about the American beliefs than anything. Many countries in the past have attained that power and gotten greedy. I certainly hope that doesnt happen to us.
I just think that if we are provoked, we should show the world that we won't stop halfway. We need to complete the tasks we take on. I don't think there is a grey line, it's black and white, drawn on the ground. One one side is the goal and unfortunately we don't always get passed that line without turning back.
It gave me a erie feeling knowing that the world was going to be different "Post-September 11".
I hope my ramblings weren't too confusing. :\
