9/11

[Odaisé Gaelach]

And how many innocent people have been killed as a result of America's attack on Iraq?

How many were suicide bombers, killing their own citizens?

In fact, how many innocent people die of disease in Africa each day? Oh wait... sorry, not America... so clearly it doesn't matter.

That's not terrorism. That's not people killing other people.

Personally I will never forget it. I saw the second plane hit broadcast live. The entire day was.... unforgettable. The only bright spot was all the others in other countires who had been through the same thing offering sympathy. It unified most of the world for a few days anyway. To bad it couldn't have lasted longer but I guess it's easier to call people names and be angry at them then try to understand each other and get along.

Yeah... but it's heartening that the world really can be unified. Even after a terrible incident like 9/11, we could throw our differences aside.
