UNITED 93 part B

so here i am to talk a little more about "united 93". as i stated earlier i wanted to see the movie because i needed to remember 9/11. i wanted another reminder that the world is not what it use to be, my children are no longer safe anymore...not that i am paranoid but, there are a group of people that want to kill me, my wife, my children and you, and your family. that is simply reality.

if you think i am extreme or crazy then all i would say to you is go watch the movie. if you think i am extreme or crazy then all i will say to you is there wasn't just one plane that was intentionally crashed that day. if you think i'm extreme or crazy then all i will say to you is remember madrid, london, the u.s.s. cole, mogadishu, and remember the myriad of other instances when terrorist chose to attack and kill women and children in israel.

yes they chose to do those things, don't blame the united states, don't blame spain, don't blame great britain and don't even try to tell me that they just wanted "their land" back...anyone with an ounce of historical honesty, a modicum of sanity and a scrap of intelligence knows the history of that region and knows that "palestine" was a term used by the romans and others to refer to the region, not to a specific country. in centuries past there was no country of "palestine". again, "palestine" referred to the nation of israel and surrounding regions/countries that did exist. so if you want to be honest, an israeli is just as much a "palestinian" as is a jordanian. etc. etc. i belabor this point because i am tired of indivduals that want to blame everyone else except those who target civilians as they blow themselves up. i am also tired of the idiotic argument that we have no right to be in iraq, that we are just as bad as the terrorists...do not equate me or your average u.s. citizen with them and DO NOT equate our brave men and women in uniform with them either. your average joe citizen in this country doesn't go to church, or to a synagogue, or to his temple and then proceed to go out and wire himself so he blows himself and others to bits. your average u.s solidier is not targetting civilian men, women and children (nor sawing off their heads either).

this my friend is one of the things that "united 93" is about. it is a look at those who want to kill you if you do not agree with their ideaology, religion, whatever you want to call it, and a look at your average joe citizen and his response to those who want to blow you up. it is a look at the necessary heroism that was needed to keep others from harm and death.

i find it interesting that in the end the only thing that saved lives and thwarted the insane goals of the hijackers was; a) others sacrificing their lives, and b) a group of individuals rising up and by deadly force attempting to circumvent (and succeeding to a certain degree) what those insane men had planned(gee kind of like our men and women in our armed forces). it seems that what happened on "united 93" is what is happening ( on a much larger scale)in afghanistan, iraq and will be needed around the world to prevent people like the men that murdered the passengers and crew of "united 93" from achieving their goals.

no i am not finished yet but i must get some sleep.
I'M BACK
it's been a while which i don't like, but life has been extremely busy. i will not relate everything though because that is not the purpose of this blog. i will continue my posts on "united 93", "the big three", "shamnesty" and a little bit on "cynthia who?" later. i am tired now and need sleep.
