I write this as I watch the aftermath of the cowardly terror attacks on New York and elsewhere.
So many emotions flooding my head. First to mind are sickness and sadness. Stupidity. Ignorance. They didn't win today, they lost credibility, something that will be much harder to resurrect than the twin towers. Ironically The end result will be a stronger America. I doubt that this was the intention of the fools, but I believe it. The victim heals and becomes stronger.
If this was brought about by Arab terrorists, they over estimated their power and underestimated the resolve of the U.S.
If far-right Americans are to blame, they have defeated there own cause. I am a libertarian in many ways, but if it takes stronger government controls to help prevent this, well......
If these acts were sponsored by entities in the Middle East, I hope we as Americans are intelligent enough to chill out. Those who victimize people of Arab descent as a means of personal retaliation only lower themselves. Their victims may well be better Americans than they.
I can accept a case unsolved. I believe that we are all created, loved and judged by the same God. Anyone foolish enough to think this was a situation that had anything to do with a moral martyrdom will answer eventually to a just God. I will trust in His decision.
I apologise if anyone was offended. It was not my intent. I needed to say something and I appreciate those who took the time to read.
My prayers go out to the families of the victims.
