Terrorism


            Terrorism, Terrorism is the threat or use of violence, often against the civilian population, to achieve political ends. Terrorism involves activities such as assassinations, bombings, random killings, hijackings, and skyjackings. It is used for political, not military, purposes, and by groups too weak to mount open assaults. I have different thoughts and feelings about the rent deaths, attacks, and about the reactions people have had to them. Perhaps in the coming months, I will revisit this stream of consciousness exposition of my reaction to these events, and replace it with something more fulfilling; like the joy of being with my friends and family throughout the holidays. But for now this will just be what comes to mind. I am overwhelmed with sadness for the fallen soldiers and for their families. The terrorists took from their victims all that they have ever been, and all that they will ever be. They left untold thousands of husbands and wives bereft of their spouse. They stole a parent or parents from thousands of children. They ended the hopes of entire families to have subsequent generations. They killed off family names, hopes, dreams and futures. They have left parents and grandparents grieving to see their children and grandchildren predecease them. They destroyed the lives and families of hundreds of Samaritans who rushed into the burning skyscrapers trying to save others. Many won't even have a body to bury. They will never have a chance to say 'goodbye,' and many will never recover from this blow. I am overwhelmed with sadness for the fallen soldiers and for their families. This is a culture war, not an economic war. Most of the so called 'conventional' wars in the history of western civilization were wars of economic conquest. Germans or Italians or French or Romans or Spartans wanted more territory, wanted the wealth of their neighbors, so attacked to steal it.
