america under attack, ii
funny how people grow small brains and rather large mouths when something catastrophic happens.
Yummee just got done showing me a couple of livejournal comment threads, which i'm sure are only 2 of dozens, comprising one or two people saying they didn't feel very strongly about what happened this morning or even looking at it from the 'terrorist's point of view.
one particular thread started when some person remarked, basically, that "there is a big bully who tries to force it's way on 3rd world countries. one day those countries strike back at the big bully, and the big bully whines, calling them terrorists instead of freedom fighters."
boy, did that ever bring alot of ignorant people out of the works in response. so far as to one ignorant person saying that her dad was ex-CIA, and if anything happened where she lived, she would report the original poster.
what a whole lot of people don't seem to understand is that there are, at least, 2 sides to every issue.
when we entered into ww2, people were happy as hell. people were out in the streets cheering, big ticker-tape parads and all, despite the fact that people were dying. everyone defends their morbid warlove by saying that "we were the good guys, just killing the bad guys".
what people don't understand is that these other factions think the same way, that they are good and we are bad.
people say "oh, but in ww2, we were attacked first! our fighting was only in defense of our country!"
what they don't understand is that these other factions feel the same way. they feel that our country's nosing into their business is an act of aggression, and since they do not have a congress to officially declare war, or tank platoons to send rolling onto our shores, they do what they can to strike at us. they kill innocent people.
and if you are thinking of responding to this, telling me that i'm sick, there is no justification for what they did, yadda yadda, then go fuck yourself. i am not justifying; i merely state that not everyone agrees with us Americans that we are the good guys.
