What happened to basic human rights?

What happened to valuing life- however we may feel about it and ‘liberty & justice for all’???

Whoops- we really don’t mean “all” at all (do we?). We mean all that is not Iraqi, Pakistani, South Asian, Female, African, Black, Gay, Lower-socioeconomic status, Under-educated, etc… basically not the 'all' that we don’t like or have strong reasoning to believe was behind attacks on the US. Yes it is terrible, beyond terrible and horrible what this man did and was capable of and the way people continue to support this ideology- that remains something I cannot fathom...but the way we as human beings, Americans are reacting over a life loss is just as troubling and deserves some serious thought.

Sometimes the human spirit is utterly disgusting.

The display of self righteousness and ‘might’ that is out there right about now is no better than the display that happened on the very fateful day we claim to be fighting for.

Celebrations? In the street? Really? Someone please roll some video footage of other countries on 9/11. Please be reminded that those who oppose Americans & our values were celebrating in the street as we were mourning our losses. WE were outraged at the lack of decorum showed- yet here WE are doing same thing we viewed as wrong then. Think about it-- if it was wrong for them to do it then -- then OF COURSE it wrong for us to celebrate now…no? OH, we feel we are right. (carry on...)

No, I am not sympathizing with anyone at this moment… I am searching for humanity in it all.

Do we not realize that thousands have died (senselessly) and millions more are suffering (continually) right this very second? And human beings want to see a dead body displayed and head mounted on a steak. Yet we call ourselves civilized in the same breath- hardly.

God Bless the USA.

(and may she protect and keep us all from the danger that is mainly ourselves)
