If you think of how many innocents have been in killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by Americans since the horror of September 11th, 2001 it really causes one of conscience to question the very humanity of the American people. Now, don't get me wrong, tracking down the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks and bringing them to justice is the perfectly correct thing to do. A thorough investigation into the individuals, and entities behind the September 11th attacks would be an important thing to do as well, though I won't hold my breath on that ever happening. Using the September 11th attacks as an excuse for collective reprisals against innocent Muslims around the world is pure evil, and that is what the United States is engaging in. Using the deaths of more than 2000 Americans in 2001 as a reason to invade, occupy and frankly terrorize populations of innocent people whose only real crime, besides their choice of religion, is that they live in areas of the world with vast troves of unexploited natural resources that American Corporations want, is a betrayal to the victims of the September 11th attacks. It is also tremendously cynical to assume that buying off the next of kin of this horrendous massacre is going to make the situation go away ... it won't.
We need to bring our soldiers home, let our soldiers heal, and prevent the further victimization of innocents.
