Wow, its been 8 years since that horrible day. Now its a holiday. Not a happy holiday , but a true holy day. 3000+ people died in those 2 towers, Flight 19 took more lives and the pentagon hot took even more. It was a very sad day for all of us.
I remember sitting on the floor in my house and feeling sick to my stomach. I watched tv for close to 13 hours that day, watching the towers fall again and again. I knew it was that start of something bad and I expected a war. I expected a war in the traditional sense. With clear cut bad guys and the American as good guys. This enemy was much worse. They hide among the regular people - they are the regular people. This made me very sour with all mid eastern people. I clearly remember children cheering and that damn lady in black giving them candy to celebrate. Eight years later I still carry hate in my heart and if I express it I am considered a racist.
Where is the condemnation from the imans? We still have not seen any thing like that from any mid eastern country. We still are in bed with Saudi Arabia. A country who's people still hate us. Some where in the back of my head I still want to burn that entire part of the country to the ground and remove a generation from the earth.
What was the impact of "shock and awe?" What did we do there? Why are we still there? ......
Anyways with this hate in my heart it makes it hard to have a cohesive though this morning.
