It's days like today that make me wonder about where I stand on this whole terror-thing.
America had it coming; as long as you piss people off long enough, someone will go and make a statement, and killing a few thousand people makes for a very profound statement.
A large part of me would very much like to have people from all over the world to live together in peace, letting others be while you still can be yourself; giving and taking in equal amounts.
I know it's very naive of me to think that way, because it will never happen.
We try to, here in Holland, but other people try to take advantage over it and refuse to respect the values this nation is built upon, like separation of religion and government. At the same time, our government is throwing away heaps of money on prestigious projects which will never come to life, which are just a money-sucking black hole.
A Prime Minister who decides to not listen to the people, despite him saying earlier that he should.
But back to today.
Seven years ago, a bunch of nuts in planes ended the lives of some 3500 people, and changing that of billions. Sad, really.
But when I think of the hundreds of thousands of people that are killed every year in traffic, by diseases like cancer and AIDS, through violence, through regular disasters and whatnot, I ask myself; what makes those 3500 people more special?
Think about it.
