The Real Terrorists

My cousin has two sheets of stickers that say "Bush Is A _______" hanging on her wall. She let other people fill in some of the blanks. One of them says "Bush Is A Terrorist", my dad has been saying that the news and newscasters are the terrorists and I just read a profile on myspace that stated that the original settlers of this country were terrorists. So it got me to wonder...who are the real terrorists? And do we see people that way because of the circumstances we're in and finally are we the terrorists!?
We look around this world and see acts of violence and religious radicalness (is that a word?) and we are told that's these are acts of terrorism, yet we wouldn't know about them if the news shows weren't glorifying them at the top of every hour. And the truth is, can't we as Americans be called terrorists for going in and destroying another country without true just cause? Isn't George W., as our president, then the leader of a terrorist nation? Most Americans would hate me for asking these questions, but I'm trying to get at the truth.We say that the men and women who attack innocents are evil people...yet we are involved in a war, in a country that had nothing to do with the attack on us. In fact, the international community doesn't even back us up on this war and yet we see ourselves as superior...if a country had come into ours with bombs and hostelly taken over our government, we would definitely call them terrorists. Not saying that Hussein was a kind gentle leader who had done nothing wrong...but what had he done to us directly? I believe that our George had in mind to go after him no matter what happened, in other words, I believe that even if 911 hadn't have happened we would have eventually found ourselves in his war.
So then I guess I can stand by and say that he is a terrorist and because of his actions we are all, unwillingly, terrorists too. We have been asked to standby and blindly accept this plan and now that we are stuck the plan is being changed, but the truth of the matter is...we did what the bombers do, but we did it on a bigger scale and with a big fat lie. I don't except anyone to agree with me, but I don't think it's right....I don't think any hate-filled act of violence is acceptable. And at this time I'm disgusted by the man we have in power and what he has turned me into. Because the truth is as I sit here as a citizen of America I have unwillingly been turned into a terrorist.

Inspired by "A New World"

She mourns him at the feet of the river and covers herself in the warm ash of an old fire.
I'm sad for her, I'm sad for her life and the love she lost because of a lie. The light of the sun shines on her but all she sees is the darkness of death that chills her skin and and breaks her heart.
Her tears stream down her face and she does not care enough to wipe them away.
You can look into her eyes and see that she will never be the same.
Years have passed, moments have lingered and still her eyes show her loss.
She is married now, but her love for him who was lost is all the fills her heart.
But she now has hope...hope in her child, hope in the life she has helped to create, the son that will fill her heart with the love she lost so long ago.
She plays with him, chases him, feeds him...reads to him.
Teaches him the world through her eyes.
But still in her heart she still mourns at the feet of the river longing for the love she's lost.

When asked what he'd like to hear God say when he got to the pearly gates, Matt Damon said...


"all of the suffering that you saw or heard about or knew was happening, there was a point to it and if you come in the back I'll tell you all about it."


Just something for you to think about.

New Years Resolutions!!!

Today one of my co-workers asked me if I had any New Year Resolutions. I said yes, but I know that I probably won't keep any of them. No, I'm not going to tell you what they are, they're personal to me. I've decided that this year instead of telling everyone what I hope to accomplish this year, I'm going to write myself a letter and in six months I'll open it and see how far I made it with them. I usually fail within the first week. But maybe, if I take it easy and try not to do anything too crazy I'll succeed. Or maybe like usual I'll just brush them side and do my own thing.
We like to set ourselves up for things, but instead of making 5 or 10 resolutions, maybe we should just make one and instead of alot of them at the beginning of the year we should just take them on slowing throughout the year. For example, if you want to give up smoking...start that at the beginning, that's a task that can take years to accomplish, so instead of stacking it next to losing weight and reading more of the Bible and I don't stop watching porn, just start with the smoking thing and as you get more comfortable....then stop get on an excercise routine....then the reading and so forth. If you start all that at once...you might just give it all up.
But I don't know that's just my opinion. Well GOODLUCK with your resolutions and have a wonderful 2007.
