Blowjobs not Bombs!

Sep 13, 2001
For all the coverage that the NYC situation has gotten, there has been a disturbingly low raising of consciousness. The obvious question is "why?". Why, why, why?

Here is a bunch more information. After WWII the US took Palestine from the Palestinians and gave it to the Jews. The nation that they formed is named Israel. The Palestinians' religion is Islam. The Islamic population of the middle east resents the presense of the Jews in their former homeland. The US and Israel are very tight. Many Jews in the US have family there. Over the years there has been a lot of violence over the land occupied by Israel.

During the 80s when the Russians invaded Afghanistan, bin Laden led Arab resistance fighters against them. They were funded (and probably trained and armed) by the Central Intelligence Agency. story here.


Sometime since then, things have changed. We must have pissed them off pretty bad. I haven't figured it out yet. I'll keep digging for you, dear reader.

My previous entry may seem overly unsympathetic to the NYC disaster. I mourn for the loss of my New Yorkers. I'm sad and angry. War is so bad. If we don't use this horrible event to become more aware of the US's presense and actions in the world - and discover the "why?" - Why would eighteen men give their own lives to blow us to smitherines? What did we do to prompt this action? And when we discover the answer to these questions, we will be compelled to act on that knowledge. We will be morally obligated to hold our military accountable for it's actions. We will demand it of our politicians, of our children in the military, and of our business leaders.

The curse of consciousness is responsibility. We can no longer afford to blindly feed the machine that is the US military. We can't afford to step on so many toes indiscriminately. We have felt the sting.

This country is extremely vulnerable to terrorism. All the money and precautions and technology in the world cannot stop a single man who is willing to die. We must become a better neighbor. Our neighbors have teeth and are willing to use them. They have shown us this much. Now is the time to learn that lesson.
