Well, this is how I see it; it's no America's place to mourn for the thousands of people who loose their lives to AIDS, starvation and other unfortunate happenings in the world. What the americans are simply doing today is rembering the lives of the "innocent" ones that was lost on that day.. 4 years ago. I remember returning from the store in woolwich arsenal on a train from Deptford when my Grandma told me to turn on the TV to sky news.. and there it was, the tower burning. I actually thought it was a movie until the second plane hit and then the chaos was unmeasureable.
Not saying that american lives are far more "precious" or anyffin.. but the point is, if they (as americans) choose to make a big deal of it in their own country, then so be it. Bloody hell, they can't be held responsible for all the things that go on in the third world countries.. however one cannot forget about the foolish and irresponsible act of "our president"... may God continue to bless and provide for him (yes.. no matter how "bad" his decisions are, we're still liable to pray for him) in rushing to war in Iraq.. without the concent of the UN alliance.
These and some other actions of the americans are what make the whole atom of "hate" to grow and fester among other countries.. and sadly enough, things like what happened on the 11th of September 2001 do happen.\
I don't really know the right words to say to those who lost lives of relations and loves ones on that day.. but I pray that God would console them and be with them till they meet to never part again.
Now who wants some orange soda? :biggrin:
