where were you?

I know it's a bit late, but I wrote this in my phone on the morning of Sept. 11 and didn't get around to uploading it until now-

On the 8th anniversary of the biggest tragedy on US soil, I can't help question everything. While I am not BY ANY MEANS attempting to take away anything from the 3000 innocent people and heroic Police and Firefighters that died this day 8 years ago, but in the wake of all the other deaths/murders that have come from it, maybe we should also take today to reflect on those other lives lost as well. Think of the thousands of U.S. men and women sent over seas, who lost their lives for this war. Not only that, but think of the hundreds of thousands, if not million of innocent Iraqi and Afghani civilians who have lost their lives in the midst of our war on terror. Remember when all those commercials came out..."if you do drugs, the terrorists win", "if you vote democrat the terrorist win" well how about this...

- When you're ignorant, the terrorist win-
- When you're racist, the terrorists win-
- When you hate an entire ethnicity b/c of what a few did, the terrorists win-
- When you kill innocent civilians, the terrorists win-
- When you listen to Toby Keith, the terrorists win-

Think of how much anger and hatred you felt on Sept 12 2001, for the people who you thought brutally massacred 3000 of you're fellow country men. Now imagine how deep your hatred would flow towards a country who wiped 1,000,000 people just like you (INNOCENT) off the map. Every time we kill an innocent father, we turn his sons into candidates for terror. We need to stop the bombings of villages and gatherings to hopefully take out one important target. I know we all thought Obama would CHANGE things, but I think Jeremy Scahill said it best with :

The fact is, on the ground, Obama is continuing some of the most belligerent, violent, and some would say, unconstitutional policies of the Bush administration. Bagram is his Guantanamo. They're spending 60 Million dollars to expand the place. ( in Afghanistan the airfield) they're holding people without charge in contradiction with international law. Bombing in Pakistan with these drones are indiscriminately killing civilians. Civilians are dying in Afghanistan on a regular basis, and the guy is using a quarter millions contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. . . Sounds ALOT like Bush"

O.K, I will end this now before it gets away from me...
