No matter how tight our defense you will never be able to stop terrorists that are willing to die to kill others. The travesty of what is to come lies now in the families of all the innocents the US is sure to lay waste to seeking its vengence… but the precedent must also be made. Just because other countries tolerate terrorism (even if it is terrorism induced by us) ... doesn’t mean we must.
Today thousands (tens of thousands) of innocent people died. I know America will not tolerate it. I know it is just blind vengence, and I know it really isn’t fair because we can retaliate whereas all the countries we do this to cannot… but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. When America’s sense of liberty and safety is threatened there is no limit to what it will do. Who can forget that we knowingly dropped nuclear weapons on tens of thousands of innocent people… non military targets. It was terrible and savage… but it ended WWII and our sense of liberty and safety was restored (and arguably many more lives were saved then lost). Whatever happens in the next few weeks/months will surely be savage and cruel and terrible… let us only hope it can put the same definitive end to terrorism as we did war in WWII.
And its not right, and its not fair, but it’s what is going to happen. We have a dumb fuck president, a republican administration, by and far the most devestating military on the planet, and 260 million americans who are going to sleep tonight wondering if their home will be next. Many more people are going to die… and right or wrong has nothing to do with it.
