Where we live, my thoughts..
My thoughts,
I dunno about the whole terrorism plots and the Iraq invasion.. they to me seem to be the worlds cake at the minute. Usually when the "war on terror" is brought up.. I can imagine many elders go like 
why.. because the war being fought is a different one from the war the elders fought back in 1914-18 and 1939-45.
It seems really sad.. primarily because after world war II we as mankind were meant to have learnt valuable lessons.. yet here we are in a modern age.. and yet we are still "spilling blood" as TG says, I was always told that actions do speak louder than words.. and I've always believed that in the "seize the day" quotations.. when a country cries out for help or aid.. we're more concerned in arming our forces than we are helping them.. all over the world people die from diseases and illnesses which most modern countries have control of.. yet they don't help..
back in the 80s or possibly earlier it was established that most 3rd world countries need help in things like food, water and structure to find their feet and begin to build a better place.. theres been countless charities set up.. and yet 20 years on.. the countries don't look any better and they are still crying for aid..
There are countries in Africa where small militant groups are the law and for tourists they are considered "no go areas".. why isn't another country stepping in to help them?
I also want to make a point that we the "global public" are fed information from the press.. radio, internet.. television news.. of how much of this released news that we are told is true? I'm not sure.. but I am sure of one thing..
it's nothing to do with religion.. as I am not a religious person.. I see all this potential across the world.. all this energy going to waste.. why?
Because we live in a world motivated by greed, disloyalty, corruption.. and dishonesty.. a world where man is self distructive.. and only helps others if they are to possibly gain from it..
There are many great people that exist on this earth.. most of them are "the unknown" they live day to day in existence helping others for the benefit of good feeling of having helped someone without getting anything back.. they don't do it because the bible tells them or they have belief in a great religion.. they do it because they are honest.. sincere.. and kind..
The war on terror is another "pawn" in a chess game of life.. when 9/11 happened.. it shook everyone and woke everyone up.. how real was it.. I don't know.. it's like Princess Diana.. it's like Pearl Harbour.. it's like everything thats happened throughout history.. everyone has conspiracy theories and everyone has their ideals and thoughts of who was behind it.. although this may be cynical of me.. I just dont think man as a race is capable of moving on after this date.. they aren't capable as whole community of helping each other.. its a shame because if we all helped each other.. and we all communicated that little bit better.. and all believed in each other that little bit more.. we'd realise we'd all get along that much better and .. just maybe make the world the place it should be..
