The Real Price For freedom
The attacks that unfolded on the morning of September 11, 2001 reshaped the world as we know it, on that morning a new war towards a cultural so distant from our own the only thoughts we had on them is that they ride camels and is home to the birthplace of that guy Jesus, kinda. Our new war would be fueled on arrogance, revenge, and a type of Americana jihad that fat, lazy middle class war veterans would only understand, but the real issue I stand to address is that the fact of the matter is that it has been over a decade since blood has been drawn and no clear victor has been declared or with any significant progress made. With countless deaths, many meaningless and unavoidable we have to ask is all of this bloodshed and money really necessary? Through my perspective it seems that the U.S. military with all their advanced weapons and technology should have came through and annihilated any opposing force that threats the security of the U.S., I mean who are they really fighting a bunch of trigger happy middle eastern hillbillies that hate the U.S. because of our freedom, democracy, and western views along with the fact that we can go to a corner gas station and buy a liter of Coke and maybe a couple of Playboys or maybe it is because of the last century of violence, bombings, assassinations, and torture promoted and sponsored by the suits in Washington backed with the support of the American Joe and carried out by the uniformed men and women that we call soldiers. Who in this country is brave enough to say maybe we’re the terrorists, are we not the ones who launch the missiles that kill innocent men, women, and children, are we the force that leaves the widows and orphans of which ever wealth depleted and war torn country we’ve been deployed to wander the streets? Two twenty something year olds can kill three people in a American city and have the country on a standstill, be hated by nearly every American on the planet to the point half of them want them dean and the other half wanting them tortured for the rest of eternity but God forbid if a unmanned flying bazooka kills twelve citizens in the name of American foreign justice, talk about humane. I guess if Anakin Skywalker can invade and massacre a village of sand people in the name of righteousness and justice U.S. soldiers can to. Nearly three thousand U.S. citizens died due to the attacks on September 11 but since then nearly one hundred thirty five thousand civilians are left dead because of the invasion that followed, and that number is only for Iraq alone. Now is that a just and equal price for the so called freedom that comes with living in this nation, can Americans say that are efforts to destroy terrorism are still morally acceptable, is there any other way to secure our homes and workplaces instead of useless killings, and the final question I have to ask how much does it cost to our nation to kill one terrorist and how much to kill all those innocent in the process?
