9/11 Article of Death!!!!

First some link: Remembering September 11 1973 by Tito Tricot.

Now then, its 5 years since 9/11, according to american time format. September is a nice month when the air gets cooler and the autumn chill still hasnt grasped the country in which i reside. The newspapers are full of memorials and whatever they can think of. I am glad to see some journalists/writers focus on the global effects that this spectacular attack provided us with. Terror actions have increased. Causing terror is now fashionable and as Shalman Rushdie allegedly said "Terror is glamour". More people than ever are now ready to become martyrs in the global jihad that is now taking place in what seems to be some subculture world of islamist culture against the top level politicians in the western world, which of course does not affect but, but rather helps them to remain in power. As in all wars, it is the lower classes that pays the bills in blood.

The american government (not the americans) have undermined their own credability and i believe most of the world now sees them as power hungry- greedy- selfish men who bought their way into the white house and now wield its power to increase their already fantasticly large wallets. What they need this money for is beyond me really. Maybe another presidency that will give them even more money so that they can buy more presidents. It would be cheaper to buy an army and elect their favourite greed-grower as dictator. It would spare us the humiliation of seeing america elect more puppets. Of course, this is my opinion, or feeling. I have no proof, but this is a blog so it doesnt matter all that lot what I write. :)

But still it bothers me that we, on this day, are ment to mourn the victims. Sure, its not a terrible thing to do so. They were 3000 people, mostly more or less like you and me. Business-people. Some good some bad - all dead now. But its tragic that it is only they who are mourned. Why? Because it happened in the USA? Because it was seen Live on TV by the whole world? Because two monstrous buildings were brought down by a handful of convinced arabs? Who knows how many have died on September 11th over the millenias. The coup in Chile, 1973 (se link at the beginning) is just one example. That too a sad story, which was caused largely by the USA. But when it happens to USA iteself, its a great trauma to the world which will never stop. Year after year we will hear sobbing about those people who died here and there on manhattan. Im sorry to say, but hey, everyone dies. Why are they special?

Big explosion, lots of dead. It happens every day in Bagdad. Why are there not memorials every year for them? Yearly memorials please. Every day!

What is special for September 11 is that since then, the world has fallen under a big shadow. Anyone might be a terrorist, the governments will stop at nothing to find and destroy them. But they cant kill an idea, can they.

Advice for movie to see: V for Vendetta. Not an overly amazing movie, but it does touch my subject for this blog entry. A police state where the public have given in to the broadcasted fear and allowed themselves to become prisoners through protection.

It also has a small background theme about USA which is at civil war in the hypothetical future. At this point in time i dont see it as a possibility, but what if this country, which is tense and frightened, got a rift in the middle. Some spark which lights a small fire of dislike between, lets say east and west. Who knows what it might be, climate shift or rap music, anything. What would happen to the world if the USA fell into a civil war. There are probably more guns in civilian hands in the USA than there are in Afghanistan. Surely there are more, but i couldnt know the ratio :)

STUPID STUPID STUPID WORLD!
