What a tragedy - we went to a friends last night to watch CNN. I guess I was in shock - waking up this morning... remembering yet hoping amongst hope this was a bad dream.
I hope the other countries step up as much as we have in the past for them. If this is truly terrorist from the middle east do we actually continue helping them at the risk of our people? What about a bit more input from other nations who are much closer? Heck - even in Nato there are far more Germans/Americans than anybody else. Is this our destiny?
I always wondered if we were doing the right thing poking our noses into other people's business. I guess we stand all for one and one for all in our assistance. Yet one asks have we really been effective in our strategies? The same people are still fighting, terrorists galore - to date worse than in centuries.
I'm sick inside, thinking of all the poor families
that were affected by this. It really leaves an
empty spot in oneself.... wishing in some way
you could help... finding people, condolences,
I really don't know. What on earth have we done that somebody would retaliate this harshly, taking innocent bystanders?
The Nato base is up to a 'semi-alert' level here - all others in EU are 'full alert'. I slept, yet restlessly. At least I was able to wake up, unlike so many others.
This period in history shall be forever implanted in my mind. Will this change the way the world deals with terrorism? Will this bring more nations together to fight the evil minds behind this? Shall we ever find the answers to put a permanent stop to non-natural disasters?
I pray the answer will evolve soon, with no more deaths, trouble, disasters.
