terror

[juldea]

I got my Geek Girl shirt in the mail. I also didn't go to Saxon. Those are two very insignificant good things to happen in a day deluged with bad things.

I have heard too many people today who have replaced their sorrow with anger. It is not a solution to reciprocate with a similar attack on civilians. "Bomb 'em all" will not make things better.

I am supposed to concentrate on homework or something.

I wish I were a cat. I wouldn't have to worry about terrorists or homework... I could just curl up in the sun and sleep a lot.

ugh...I know what you mean...my friends at work are saying how they hope we "bomb the hell out of them" and "kill every mother fucker in the middle east"...I don't know how they don't see the hypocrisy in their own words. How does hate cure hate? The only good point brought out by my friends was how the bombing weren't even over something tangeble like land gold or land. Just beliefs...it shows how beliefs can be such a dangerous thing.

Do we really know what the bombing was about? (keep in mind all of my information is still from last night, not had time to look today). I mean, the WTC and the Pentagon are pretty hearty symbols of gold and land (wealth and military power).

I'm not arguing with you. Beliefs are a very dangerous thing (re: lyrics to The Ballad of Desmond's Walk). I'm just looking for a satisfactory answer to... "Why?"

well, yeah, no one can know exactly why this happened until we get more information. But if it turns out to be the Bin Laden guy, he is just a radical in the fight between Israel & Palestine.
