No Title Given
I really love Beverly, but the things she said about the incident and America hurt me to read. Makes me wonder how many other jealous people there are out there... I really do love this country. It makes me feel safe, which is something it usually accomplishes. I believe that anything America does, it always with the best intentions, even if they are NOT the right solutions. I don't much care about those people's feelings toward American involvement in the middle east when they were seen chanting "God is good" and throwing candy and shit when they heard the news. Things like this cannot, and will not be tolerate by the US. The reason why America was not ready for something like this is because it SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, and a slight slap on the wrist won't stop it from happening again. What some people do not quite get is this: examples need to be made. In truth, the only reason people conform to any law or moral is because they have seen it demonstrated as something not to be done, or they are given hard proof as to why. Terrorist acts like this cannot go unpunished, if not only in respect for those who senselessly lost their lives. I am usually against war, but all I need to think of is this: What would it have been like to be in one of those planes? What would it have been like to be in one of the twin towers, and while throwing a casual glance over your shoulder to the window you see one of those two planes? What if you were one of those who chose to jump instead of clasping inside of the buildings, knowing you only had those two options? What if any of those was one of your family members instead? Not that these questions would not be proposed, but I know for certain that I will look at other world crisises with a more personal light - it's a lot different once you have experienced. I thought I could parade around with my nose in the air, too, and think of millions of ways it could have been avoided and millions of things to place blame on. But, in truth, if you have nothing compassionate to say, you have no right to fucking open your mouth and spout such disrespectful rubbish. What's done is done, and the blame of who started it no longer matters. America was not the one who brought measures to such extremes. But the ones who did will pay.
