Strong words

- Uh-oh. Strong words come from the US. Wild west stuff. Dave is in tune with his president:
it's time to make a choice, and decide what you stand for
Dave, these are not "good" words. They do not encourage support. They encourage submission. When your president said that he and the people of New York would show the world that New York can be rebuilt, that was the right attitude. Do not give in to the fears.
I´ve long decided that Terrorism is a bad thing. I did not need the terrible attacks to happen to know this. Back in the 80´s, our country was victim to a series of leftist terrorists. They killed selectively, targeted specific people. Even that drove me up the trees.
- Of course, terrorism needs to be faught. I wonder why the US did not see this before? When they had Saddam Hussein at their mercy, I always wondered why they let him get away despite knowing that he was encouraging, funding and executing acts of terror.
- It seems as if everyone except the US knew long ago that terrorism is bad. Now that they got hit, they suddenly wake up and start running around crying "see? see?" and think they break some important news to everyone else. And threaten those who fail to see why it is important to kill everyone in a country called Afghanistan. You know, Germany has been there. We had to fight a long, dangerous fight against terrorists. The difference was, that those people were living in our own cities, so we couldn´t just send in the B 52s. Eventually, the terror ended because the terrorists lost their cause and the society had changed enough for them to be able to live with it.
