“…a day which will live in infamy…” -fdr.
unbelievable. what happened? is this some sort of “war of the worlds” hoax? no. the world trade center: gone. the pentagon: partly destroyed. who did this? i’m not even asking why. that doesn’t matter. but who? of course everyone is pointing fingers at arabs, but we just don’t know. i have arab friends. i hope they are alright. i know the mob, and the mob doesn’t care about individuals. to them, if you are an arab, you must pay.
and it’s clear someone must pay! someone will pay. i hope it’s the right someone, though. if we happen to take out a few other known terrorists on the way, then that’s fine with me, too, but to take out innocents makes us no better than them, and we *must* be better than them.
it makes me want to join against them. how? FBI? CIA? it would certainly give me some focus.
my family is ok. dad works in DC, and this morning i was freaking out because i couldn’t get a hold of my mom. i did finally get a hold of heather and got her to head off to my parents, but before she got there, mom checked in and said that dad was ok.
but for those families who have lost family, loved ones, friends… i feel your pain and loss.
the last event that galvanized this nation was the attack on pearl harbor. this could go to that same point, and the terrorist will find that there are no more powerful people on earth, and they will find themselves destroyed. we are powerful, not because of our military, not because of our economy, not because of the culture they hate so much, but because we can be just as focused and detirmined as they can be, and we are already far stronger.
i can’t believe they are celebrating in the streets of palestine. if they ever wanted to lose american sympathy, they just lost it. those images of them handing out candy and having a party didn’t win them any karma. do they see us laughing and celebrating whenever israel blows the shit out of them? no. we may not impose sanctions on israel, but we certainly don’t shake their hand. right now (and i hope my opinion changes soon) i have the feeling we should walk into palestine and occupy it. let them stew under our yoke for a while. if the fundamentalists and terrorists want to hate america let’s give them a really good reason.
ugh. i’m angry, hurt, disgusted. i know me and i know this will fade with time to something more refined and less violent, but in the meantime… i can’t say i regret it and i can’t say i’m not sincerely wishing destruction on those who would destroy us.
