9/11

I am blogging about this subject because of a special that is airing on the National Geographic Channel regarding the attack. You know, I think about that day maybe more often than most people do. I am in no way directly connected to anyone that their lost their life that day and I saw it on television just like most of the world did, yet I cant get any of those images out of my head. My life changed that day. It felt like it was happening to me. I was so sad and angry during those next few days. Sad for the families that lost someone, sad for those poor souls that chose to jump from the 90th floor, sad for the passengers that were hoping everything was going to be okay. Then anger, rage uncontrollable rage. I wanted everyone that was a part of this dead. All of them. Every single one of them, no matter what the cost. So a few civilians will die, so what? Did they care who they killed? Someone tell me why we should be so careful when we go after them. In a war, there will always be casualties, for us and them. I just want revenge, plain and simple. There may be nothing ethical about it but it is justice. That day I realized many things. I realized where I am from. Being Latino, I notice that latinos from my generation always likes to claim they are from where their family is from. If their parents are from Mexico then they go around saying they are Mexicans. I was born in this country, so what happened, happened to my fellow countrymen. I am an American first and everything else second. But the biggest realization I had that day was what I had always suspected before, we are alone. There is no higher power out there that is supposedly watching over us. All the stuff I have been taught my whole life was total B.S. I wont go any further on this topic, just to prevent this blog from going all spiritual. This is all just my opinion. I was deeply affected that day and I will never forget nor forgive. I will never forget what I saw that day and I will never forgive them for murdering Americans. I just hope we can one day say we got them all, dead or alive.
