guy shot in miami

[sweetcoz]

if you haven't heard about this, i imagine you will soon. a passenger was shot by a US marshall on a plane in Miami, after apparently uttering a bomb threat (his mental health was implicated in this "miami mayhem"). the war on terrorism has now explicitely become a civil war..... and it seems to me that most americans don't know, don't care, or

i hate guns. i've been scared to watch the news the last few hours because of those hostages and how they've extended the deadline etc.. i'm seriously holding my breath.. i'm scared i'll turn the tv on and it will be the latest report about how they've been brutally murdered. since its been covered for so long, you've heard from them and all their families and friends, i mean one of them is from sault ste marie..so weird..close to home i guess

i wrote a paper that dealt with something sorta similar.. i think the crazy thing about the US is that they feel they are spreading democracy because of some sort of higher moral duty they have as the world's superpower..

it was crazy when they spoke to both martin and bush about the hostage situation. bush didn't even blink an eye and was like, well of course we don't give into threats or ultimatums or terrorism..and that was that. at least martin was a little more careful with his words for the sake of the hostages.. but so many people have died already i guess its obvious bush has no qualms about sacrificing lives.
