Extreme?!? You call this discussion Extreme?
I ran here from MTG news because of the more realistic views.
It pisses me off.
i can't tell you how angry I get when I hear things like:
"You diserved it."
"This was a long time comming."
"Thats what you get for a medling in foregn affairs."
And many other statements that are derogetory.
I tell you I was pissed at most of what Gizmo posted. Duke, well I disliked his passafist view, but it was rational.
I yelled at the screen of the chilldren dancing in the street. I vowed revenge. "Next time those kids will be dancing amung the rubble next to the bodies of their friends." I fumed.
I looked at the world in anger! Looked at all the critisism we were taking in our greatest tradgedy we have ever had..............
.......Then I took a step back step back to think. How much of what people say is true?
Well, Terrorists have been trying to take us out for a long time. After all, In the middle east we're are generaly considered
the Devil. And Although I don't understand much about ultimate evil I suppose you would do everything in your power to exterminate it. Thus it should have been no suprise that one of their many attemps succeeded.
Our foregn dealings with the world have been one of many mistakes. We've screwed up. Big time at that. At least we should be able to admit that. Our mistakes have cost the lives of millions. Our fault? perhaps. But indirectly so. Thats why people are saying we Diserved this.
As for people who preach Isolationism, I ask one question. How can you Isolate yourself in a world where it takes only a few days to circle it. Is it possible? We tried once and millions died in a holocost. Can we afford to do that again?
So are they right? Perhaps, depending on the perspective and where they came from. Now what to do...
There are many possible solutions to this problem. I have come to terms of what I want. War. War on those who did this and any who would protect those. Is it posible to only take out those who have caused this? No, innocents will die no matter what we do. Will it stop this? No, nothing we do here or ever can stop the violence. Killing those responsible will only show them the consequence they are willing to face. But letting them live free shows that they need not fear any consequence.
Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps everyone is wrong. Perhaps there is nothing anyone can do to stop this. After all, are any of you willing to live with the devil in the world?
Lastly, This family has had it's disputes before. Many over trivial matters. Theres always name calling and perhaps a few fists. But all that can be expected in a family. Insults fly and anger is abundant, but family ties are stronger than that. This family grows daily, and although we may not agree with each other or even like each other we are still within the family. So leave if you wish, we will be here waiting. And will be when you come back.
