I feel now, more than ever before that Americans are forgetting why we are fighting terrorism. Either caught up blindly in the daily grind called life, listening to news of horrific numbers of casualties, or caught up in the pride of partisanship. Americans have shifted back into a pre 9/11 posture. Politicians are making things worse. They stand at the capitol, caught up in shit slinging. They bicker over unnecessary things and display selfishness. I am disappointed, no, I am saddened. For if we let this continue, we beckon only more chaos. As, one quote I heard, “Chaos and destruction is beckoned by forgetting the past, and remaining woefully in a sense of incautious demeanor.”
I will never forget what happened that day. I will remember that on that day innocent people were slaughtered. I will remember, that they never did anything to deserve such a fate. We were attacked by cowards, and they have won, in a sense. We, as Americans, have let ourselves go. We as a world have let ourselves go. No longer do freedom loving nations stand firm. Only shriveled skeletons of what “where once”. Those who try and fight are lambasted by those who are filled with venom and hate. “Tyrants”, “Conquerors”, we are called. We are divided, and we shall fall. We must be united, and we shall stand. Not only we Americans, but all freedom loving nations. If we appease, too much and become too pacifistic, we usher defeat.
With that point. Where has the freedom gone? Freedom loving nations sit by as countless people live under the rule of despots, oligarchies, and one party “democracies”. Why should we sit by and enjoy the fruit from the tree of freedom and liberty, while others stand outside the gate?
Just some thoughts…
