The Daily 9/11
December 8th 2009 01:48 pm
On September 11, 2001, approximately 3,000 American citizens were murdered in an act of terror against the United States. This occurrence literally paralyzed the country in many respects, and as was repeatedly reported, “changed the world forever.” — or so we were told.
First of all, let me just say that 9/11 was absolutely awful in every way. It was sad, unfair, and shocking. Why did these people have to die, and why must their friends and families now suffer the rest of their lives with the absence of their loved ones? I believe every one of them were entitled to live a long, fulfilling life… which brings me to my main point. When will this madness end?!
Browsing through the news today, I saw these two articles:
- Iraq blasts kill at least 103 (more than 197 wounded)
- Twelve dead as car bomb targets Pakistan army
Here is a quote from the 2nd link: “…killing 12 people in the third attack in 24 hours…” Third attack in 24 hours? Are you kidding me? That’s unbelievable. What makes any of the 103 people in Baghdad or the 12 people in Pakistan different from the approximate 3,000 Americans?
My point is this: These bomb blasts occur so often. Wait a few days, or a number of weeks, and the death toll from bomb blasts like these will equal a brand new 9/11. Is the world “changing” every few weeks? Why does the world change only when Americans die? Does the starbucks coffee in their systems make them more valuable human beings?
The answer is this: Countries only act in favor of their interests, and unfortunately this includes even opposing or fighting terrorism. Russia’s interest in Iranian oil money has made them “open minded” to Iran’s “peaceful” nuclear aspirations, while North Korea’s own nuclear program has rendered them perfectly okay with Iran’s worldwide support for terror (a.k.a. mass murder).
What will it take for the world to finally stand up to terrorism? It seems like only massive terrorist attacks in every country on earth could stem the tide - but by then, the world will have lost. Why is it okay for thousands of Kassam rockets to fall on innocent Israeli citizens, but NOT okay for a subway to be bombed in London? Why is it okay for endless rape and bloodshed to occur daily in Darfur, or for Palestinian extremists to blow themselves up in crowded Israeli markets, but NOT okay for planes to be flown into the Twin Towers?
When will the world realize terrorism is terrorism, and terrorists are not to be “negotiated” with around a table, while everyone sips their hot drinks, all whilst their comrades are back at home building more explosive devices, and smuggling more weapons to all parts of the globe? I have some bad news: the world is losing in the war on terror.
Terrorist organizations now have their own “Foreign Ministers”, their own newspapers, and even give their own press conferences (of course their faces are covered because, well, they ARE wanted murderers)… but hey, let’s give them a chance - let’s see what they have to say! Could be important.
If people don’t start waking up, and realizing this is not a game, terror will continue spreading worldwide, with very little resistance against it. I leave you with the following video, entitled “A Former Terrorist Speak Out”
