I'm with you Halcyon.

Though I felt sorry for the lives lost on 9-11 but I went about my life as normal. War and terrorism has been going on since the beginning of mankind, it is only now that it has been dropped off at the door step of the USA. Now it finally hit "home" to the people who only know of such atrocities from watching the news.

More children die from starvation every night than the amount of people killed on that day, yet 9-11 will go down in history as one of the most life changing events of our time. Even though I lost someone that day, it was just another day on this planet where people were wrongly killed. Happens ever day in one manner or another. You accept it or you don't.

The United States Of America has already been defeated. It has changed the way we live and travel. It has taken away freedoms, and leaves us in a state of fear. Day by day we lose a little more. We are not too far off from a mild form of police state. Let another major attack happen on US soil and see what happens.

The USA can not win any "war" against terrorists. As it is said, one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. No truer words have ever been spoken. We invade a country and call those who defend it Insurgents, yet we are the invading force. What would you do if your home was invaded? Would you become an insurgent and fight them? Fucking a right you would. THAT is what Americans would do if the battle came to your front door. You would fight to defend everything you had, and the people you loved. It would be your duty.

But these people are willing to die for their cause. They hate us. Everything about us. The more we kill them, the more it breeds more hate and young men willing to give their life for the cause. It's a no win situation. You will never defeat this. It's not possible.

I really do worry about the future. Another major attack, or two, and it's all over. Another plane flown into a building or blown up and I don't even want to think how difficult it will be to fly. A subway bombing in New York... a Train in Ohio... a Boat in San Francisco... A hotel in Vegas... I don't want to think about how that will change our lives that much more.

Though I worry for the future, I do not live in fear. Fuck all of it. I'm gonna go sometime.
