We do not understand what our violence is doing to other people as we never experienced it in this country like they do. 9/11 was just a sample of what we have been doing day in and day out over a period of years to other countries. As an example of how other people suffer from war [in ways] that we are not that familiar with here, is Plymouth, England, where, during World War II, I had shore leave from chasing enemy submarines. The date I had was beautiful but she had enamel missing on one black tooth because of lack of the proper diet caused by food shortages from the war. At that time one greeted his date with an orange and not a box of candy as the orange is a food supplement that the English lacked in their diet. There is much more of dreadful living that she and others had to live through but I'll give you a break from any further discourse.

The tragedy is that this is not a war we are in. It is a genocide on innocent people around the world at the whim of some self-anointed Orwellian elder-flatulent, neo-Pol Pot that is crazed by delusions of grandeur. Empires do not last because they always overextend themselves until they start cracking from the inside. The bigger the empire the more the threat to the ruler from within for the throne – and as Emperor Bush gets more paranoid about this will he get more oppressive? Don't all Emperors? So keep waving your flags you lemmingized drones and sycophants of Caesar as you are marched off to the Gulag.
