late reflections on 9/11 and such...

I feel so much safer now that thousands of Americans (mostly arab) have had their homes invaded by FBI agents and found themselves in detention centers such as Guantanamo Bay, locked up in solitary confinement in 8' X 8' cells for months and years with no legal representation, no outside contact, and no charges whatsoever filed against them (

Wow Charlie. We really should hang out. I'm definately out of the loop. All I know is a lot of Americans died that day. I really want to go to Iraq. Do you know how to get a visa? I want to see first hand how things are going there. You should come too. I think you're outgrowig America. -Amy

yeah, a lot of americans did die that day. a lot of Iranians died in the riots the CIA instigated there in 1953. a lot of nicaraguans died in the civil war we sparked in the 80's. a lot of panamanians were murdered by Noriega who we propped up. hundreds of thousands of iraqis and iranians died in the iran-iraq war which we had a hand in and in which we completely supported Saddam Hussein militarily. America has probably been responsible for at least 10 times the deaths of all the terrorist attacks on the US in our history. Sorry girl, I'm not like arguing with you, and we definitely should hang out! I'll definitely try and pick you up and stuff when you come in... and I don't know much about getting visa's as I haven't traveled much, sorry

Not to mention a "secret" war we waged in Laos WITHOUT American citizens knowing about it in the 60's. As a result Laos became the most heavily bombed country in the history of the world. Statistically, a plane full of bombs would have been dropped every 8 minutes around the clock for nine years. One third of wich never exploded and are still killing thousands innocent people to this day. As far as I know, America is doing nothing to clean up the live bombs. The trick is, instead of getting angry and adding to the hatred, choose to love and see what you can do to help so things will be better for the next generation. See ya soon -Amy
