September 11

It was early in the morning, I was in the office and someone announced a plane crashed into a highrise in New York. We all rushed to an office with a TV set and watched the incident, wondering what happened and why. Before long, a second plane hit the other tower. I did not know how to react, it's all too dramatic. The scene looked like what we could only see in Hollywood disastor movies. Unfortunately, it turned out to be real.

Now, five years later, after numerous anit-terrorist attacks, do we feel any safer? Are we living in a better world than before? Are we certain who did the attack? Did we catch the masterminds behind all the acts and put them behind bars? Or did we bomb who we think are their families? Is it possible that someone else's families who were not part of the original terrorist deals got mistreated and started to take revenge?

We use violence against violence, terrorism against terrorism. Can two wrongs make any rights? I find it harder and harder to discriminate one from another. I guess we are hoping that we will get peace from wars. We are human, and we care about our families and friends. Whoever's not for us is against us, we are rightous and therefore they are wrong, they get what they deserve and we don't need to treat them fair. Only by defeating and removing all the possible threats can we sleep sound at night.

We are the superheroes and we liberate people from dark dictatorship. We know what is good for you, and we can decide what kind of life you should be living. This is liberty, this is liberation, this is how the world should be: like me.

If this is justice we are performing, I question the integrity of justice. The only winner from this are weapon dealers and maybe someone who's benefiting from helping his friends making extra profits. I want to know what people will say twenty years from now.

France’s Le Monde newspaper wrote an editorial stating that “since Sept. 11, America has not, it’s true, been attacked on its territory, but the world has changed for the worse.”
