America's Drive-by

October 09th, 2001 | Category: Uncategorized

Ok, right about now I feel like I'm in a gang, a gigantic gang with thousands of people I could realy careless for. Luckly, there was no ranking in, otherwise it would really irk me right now. WHy do I feel like I'm in a gang right now do you ask? A couple words can answer that.

America Strikes Back

Ok I'm pretty sure I don't have all the details and not really making my normally educated choice. But right now I feel as if America has just retaliated with a drive by. I mean what happened was a tragedy, but I think this whole retaliation right now is on par with the gang ideaology. We have dead, well now we gonna give you dead! Drive-by ensues, honestly I'm sure we can think of a better way to spend money, rather than fire a million dollar tomahawk cruise missile at some dirt in Afghanistan, but hey we might hit something or someone considered responsible right?
Same theroy with a drive by, just shoot and we're bound to hit something. Gawd, sometimes I just hate thinking as much as I do. I wish I hadn't opened the paper this morning and read about the strikes against the Taliban.

If anything we are creating a new generation of “terrorists”. Imagine a child who has both their parents killed by said Tomahawk missile, don't you think they are apt to think of the US as an evil country and take up the cause of his terrorist brothers? What of the minority Christians in Afghanistan? Will they suffer at the hands of the Taliban because of our, “retaliation”? If they do will we feel remorse or any sort of feeling for those in danger or who suffer as we have? Who are suffereing because of something out of their control? Do we even think anymore? I heard a funny quote today….

What do you think it would take to become a Canadian citizen?

I dunno, I just want some sort of affirmation that other people feel the way I do or at least see my side or the way I'm thinking about and regarding this situation.

No I'm not UNamerican, I am very American I do have pride for my country, but not if it comes to the pushy tourists walking around foriegn countries acting like total cunts. I”m not going to be proud of attacking something blindly because we are “pretty, sure, but not really quite as sure as we should be” that the orchestrator of our loss somewhere out there. Wild pot shots, trying to make them feel as we do. This quote sickened me as I read it today.

“They wanted to play the game, and now the score is tied,” Tom Scriven said, “It's good. We should do it again.”

So we should waste more money shooting our really nifty missles at holes in the ground? At a target we aen't even sure is there? Dayam if you wanna be like that, why don't we just nuke the dayam place and get em all, he's bound to be one of em, right? *sigh* I digress now, I just hope major loss of life is not on either side. Oh well, flame away peeps I need a some sort of stimulation right now.
