I have absolutely no idea why you are calling me stupid. You think I give a damn about the world trade center and the pentagon?
266 People were killed travelling in airplanes, one of the flight attendants would have been my aunt, if she had not been put off the San Fransisco Bound flight 2 days earlier so she could spend another 3 days on vacation in Arizona, and you have the nerve to tell me that I am stupid because all I am worried about is the bloody buildings?
My heart goes to the family of the people who were killed, and I pray that God will give them strength to get over what has happened. I also thank God for sparing my Aunt, who is very lucky to be alive.
You also state that it is the government of these countries who are to blame if innocent people there are killed. Now what about if things go wrong? What if innocent people in the US and all over the world are killed? Would this still apply if a member of your family was killed in a
retaliatory attack? Maybe I am being over the top, Sometimes I do think to myself, "fuck the bastards, why dont the US just nuke the whole lot of them and rid themselves of the problem", but I have family living in the US, family who I want to be able to see again, family that I love and family that dont want to see themselves and others perish in a war. Maybe if you were sitting here in New Zealand worrying every day about your family in a country which is under attack by Terrorists, you would feel the same way.
The truth is carved in history.
The Skeletal remains of more than 16000 british soldiers lie in the hills of Afghanistan, british soldiers who were massacred by ruthless guerilla's who know their land and every bump on it like the back of their hand.
The Children here are worried, and can you blame them? My nephew was crying at my brother the other morning with all this talk of war. He was crying because he was scared that When his Daddy was at work, A bomb will get dropped on their house and he would never see his Daddy again. This has caused Trauma all over the world, and if your Government is unsure that they can rid terrorism without killing innocent people who have nothing to do with this, then they had better think it over again, before more people get hurt.

I am definately not saying that I am pleased about what has happened.
Like I have said over and over again, What I dont want to watch is innocent people getting killed, and I dont want to lose family members and go through the pain that people are at the moment for the sake of an ignorant decision on your Governments behalf. Im sorry but I wouldn't be able to handle that.
