The big issue right now all over seems to be how to go about retaliating to this tragedy. I am rather offended by the people that quickly say that we should bomb the snot out of all the people involved without thinking anything over.
I really thing this incident is attempted murder of capitolism and really should be dealt with as such. The US has been stepping on so many countries for so long that this catastrophe was long in the making. Why else would they pick the WTC? Law enforcement is a substitute for a dysfunctional system of government. Until our government becomes perfect, law enforcement will be necessary to some degree, but with this situation I believe we need to work on our system and not our intelligence agencies.
If you weren't aware, the US is frowned upon for executing such a minimal amount of prisoners each year by Europe, one of our major trade partners. The death penelty is seen as a form of revenge, or murder. Europe believes that revenge should be left behind in the past with the middle ages. Even from a capitolist standpoint, going ahead with a massive revenge campaign would cut down on so many trade options.
Instead of retaliating with force, I believe we have to retaliate with change. We need to work with other nations without profits in mind. Our nation needs to work toward a system of Marxist Communism where everyone helps each other without personal benifit in mind. Once we are done getting New York back in order, don't stop there! There are so many things in your community you could do to help out. Contribute without monatary or religious reasons.
Right now I see the US similar to the Nazi's. We try to be in complete control of everything, maybe not as severe as the Nazi's, but we still try to clear a space for ourselves to lead perfect worry free lives, and everything that is wrong we try to put out of view, much like the 1950's. This is our awakening that everything isn't perfect. The world is too large, it is too difficult to have complete control over. People can't be stopped from not fitting in the system. Eventually the lowest class will take on the highest.
Finally the underdog has giving us a taste of the tragedy, like what is everpresent in their own lives. Finally the rich that worked in the WTC have been pulled from their perfect lives and shoved into a catastrophe. I agree with the goal of the hijacking, although I am completely opposed to the means they used to prove their point. It's so very sad that so many people had to die today, but revenge isn't the way to set things right. I hope I might have convinced some of you.
