Wow, I could not agree with you more... "animals that you trained... people you educate" I think terrorism has gone to the politicians heads and the war against Terror *screams in frustration* aren't we fighting terrorism not terror, terror is an emotion and if we are fighting terror, we are most certainly losing because everyone seems to terrified.
Hi, yeah, fighting terror"ism" - the use of terror to tyrannise and control others - sounds familiar doesn't it, and very close to home. Then to declare war on terror? That's like saying "this nation is embracing love." Very sweet, but meaningless. Trouble is I can believe the former more easily than the latter. There's no money to be made from love unless you're Hallmark, and money's what I hear talking, not peace, co-operation and tolerance. Hell, I'm an idealistic hippy, but if people could just stop knee-jerking and acting so damn scared all the time, maybe they'd be able to listen to other ideas.
