I'm quite sorry for not being as post-y as usual, how a bout I make up for it with a rant? Well, not just any ole rant, but a rant concerning war (not exactly war sweatdrop rather, I'm just going to rant about bits and pieces).
I'd like to start off with my favorite war related quote:
If I go golfing once, but it doesn't mean that I'm a golfer. So when I blow up one building, how come they call me a terroist?
Or something like that.
Let's get 9-11 out of the way okay? Hundreds of people died that day, but what about the millions of people in africa that die? You know that several babies are left in ditchs there each night? Perhaps we should mourn the poor as well, or is it just to common. If so, I think i'm going to puke.
I hear about North American soligers dying over on the other side of the world. But how about the civillians in that same hotel, who didn't wake up ready to die. I'm much more intrested in the 30 forigeners that went down, opposed to the 2 soligers who signed their lives away long ago.
There is no honor in playing "I have a gun and you don't," some one always loses. Wasn't there less distruction in the world before gun powder? Battle should be a test of strength and wit. Not who was given a better set of guns. It seems almost cowardice not staring your opponent in the eye. Are they afraid that the enemy might turn out to be human, just like them. Life must seem more like a game when you're looking though a scope.
I will gladly honor those who have fought and died in WWI and WWII, but not now. Now I pray for the boy that has nothing but the gun he found to save him. I don't think it's about right or wrong any more.
