Statement on the Terrorist Attacks in the U.S.

 

 

 

Please forgive my perceived need to climb up on my soap box again, but this is my forum to air my views of world events.  If you have not already heard of these events, CLIMB OUT OF YOUR CAVE AND GET A CLUE. 

 

As a United States citizen, of course I am outraged by the events that have taken place today.  However, it gives an opportunity to raise an interesting issue.

 

Most U.S. citizens would like to continue to believe the government position denouncing international terrorism.  We would like to believe that our government would not engage in creating this kind of scene in areas throughout the world.  Unfortunately, this isn’t true.

 

Most of the people commenting on this stream of attacks believe that the most likely person to be able to pull of this kind of attack is Saudi militant (and likely psychotic) Osama bin Laden, who is believed to be responsible for masterminding the bombing of two United States embassies in Africa in 1998.  Would one of these political idiots like to step forward and apologize to the citizens of the United States for training bin Laden in terrorism and subversion?

 

That’s right…unconfirmed reports have come out from several sources since the embassy bombings and the original World Trade Center bombing that the United States government taught this zealot how to perform these type of actions.  Isn’t it time for us to admit that we have provoked these actions and are ourselves partly responsible?  Shouldn’t we follow our own demands and not provide aid to international terrorists?

 

I’m not saying that we should return to isolationism like we did in the pre-World War II era.  I do believe that we might consider the repercussions of training people to kill thousands of civilians in an act of terror.  We have had other cases of CIA trained soldiers in other countries going rogue, but this scale is admittedly unheard of.  (i.e. Fidel Castro)  These are not military professionals attacking military targets like we had in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941.  It seems fairly obvious that one isn’t of sound mind if they want to engage in killing large quantities of civilians to achieve their political and or religious goals.  Exactly what about that make our government think that they can control or at least trust this type of individual completely escapes me.  I suppose an insider somewhere can counter this in his own mind with many instances where we have used somebody to our advantage and then we killed the perpetrator or something.

 

Our condolences go out to the families and victims.  Today will forever change things for us as travelers, too.  No more curbside check ins at the airport, the distinct possibility of surface to air missiles at high profile locations.  (Hey, mom, I want to ride Mickey’s Missiles.)  We will eventually have to buckle to the loss of freedom that most modern nations currently feel.  However, most of these nations have already experienced more outside terrorist attacks than the United States has been forced to endure.  It is a sad day for the world…. America is the symbol of freedom whether people like it or not.  Today America is wounded.
