We will never stamp out terror....

The war on terror did not start with 9/11, as far as this country goes. We have been at war with terror since our inception as a free country, and have had to deal with it. The Indian's were terrorist to the settlers, and when we were fighting for our freedom we were the terrorist to the British. When the south rouse up against the north they were the terrorist. The KKK was terrorist to any one who was not a white Christian, and are still around. During the first and second world wars the German's were the Terrorist, and the communist did their part to stir-up violence. Today we still have the Clan, neo-Nazis, Communist, Militant Military, cults, and government hate groups as well as plain hate America radicals. All of which are labeled TERRORIST and must be kept under close scrutiny.

For this we have various government agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, US Marshals, etc. Who have managed to maintain order, and stop them before they can do much of anything, while we sleep peacefully in our beds. For the most part we never hear about these occurrences, unless we happen to be involved in the occurrence personally, until years later when some one makes a movie or TV show about them. No policing agency can be effective 100% of the time, and tragedies do happen. Especially if treachery is involved in the agencies that are doing the policing, or in the Government that gives them orders.

Now with the Department Of Home Land Security, all are security eggs have been combined in one basket, and with the suspension of our civil liberties, and privacy under The USA PATRIOT Act, even a non violent action can be used to brand an honest citizen as a terrorist. Anyone of us who becomes angry over some injustice, that can not be rectified to our satisfaction through legal means, may be come a terrorist.

Just the thought of terror alone can be used to frighten people in to acting, or agreeing with actions that they normally would not agree too. We have never let fear of what might happen, provoke us in to attacking our neighbors. Only when attacked first did anger provoke us to war. Leaders of governments know only to well what fear and anger can do, and if these leaders are not restricted by checks, and balances, they will use them to gain their ends what ever they may be.

This is exactly what has happening right here in our country with 9/11. This was not an attack by a neighboring country, but by a Religious, Christian hating order. Who have a grudge against Christian’s dating back to the Crusades, and the Bush family in particular, since Operation Desert Storm. The ones responsible should be caught and punished for their crimes. But we can not do anything to the ones who actual carried out the act, as they are dead. Those who gave the orders are not the only criminals who must be found, there is also those who knew and looked the other way, or ignored what they were told, that are just as guilty as the ones who did the act. The sad part is that these people are not Muslim’s, Iraqi's, Arab’s, or Al Qaeda.

They are CITIZENS that are greedy, power mad, and misguided religious individuals, or groups that think their way of life is the only one. I know of no other religion other then the Muslims, and the Christians, that insist everyone believe their way. Does it not seem strange that there is so many religions in the world, all of which claim that their God is the only one. Who is right? Are they all wrong? Or are they all right? Maybe they are all fighting over the same GOD. Maybe the little guy that they all scorn, who doesn't believe in GOD is right. I am afraid we will never know who is right.

There are those who believe that there was more to 9/11, then just some terrorist crashing planes into buildings. Did some one take the movie, Wag The Dog, as an inspiration to solve political problems? It is to hard for the people in this country to believe that a member/s of their own government would do such a horrible act, that killed 3000 people. Why would they do it? Human beings are a greedy, violent lot. Look at our history, down through time there have been those, who have killed far more of their own, for their own ends. Hitler killed way more then 3000 Germans to take control, and hold of his country.

Look back at the year 2000, when GW Bush became president. This country was divided down the middle, there were many who believed that the election was rigged. There were people who were in the process of bring action against Bush, and the Republican Party. His presidency was off to a very bad start. He did not have the majority of the popular vote, and the only reason he got what he did was because of the Christian vote. They did not vote for what was good for the country as a whole, but for what was good for their prejudicial moral beliefs concerning abortion, and same sex marriage.

At any rate, it takes more then one man to do the dirty work, and only one party had control of the government. They would lose that power if the president were changed, and they could not control him. How do you insure he stays in office, by creating a situation where the people will stand behind him, and others will not dare continue action against him. What kind of situation would do this? How about one that would create fear and anger in the general public. Would an act of war by some group do the trick? A plane crash in to a building that only did damage to a few floors would not be cause to declare war. But if the damage was as resulted in 9/11, with 3000 deaths, that would be a different story.

This doesn't mean that the president knew, or had anything directly to do with what took place. Some group in the government with greed for money and power, were the instigators of this tragedy. Then it was blamed on terrorist, which were all dead and could not be questioned. After the initial shock, fear, and anger took over in the public. They ended up giving Bush powers that no president before him has had, and resulted in a war that has run the country deep in debt. For those as yet unknown, who caused the whole thing, there has I am sure been great profit, both in money, and legislation passed that effects the well being of us all.

Terror has been around from the beginning of time, and will always be with us, no matter how much we spend to stamp it out. Because any time a person(s) disagrees with anyone from a neighbor on up to the government, and feels that the only way to in act change is with violence, they are terrorist to those the violence is affecting.

All we can do is keep clear heads, don't believe every thing you are told, demand proof, secure our ports, and borders, and keep a watchful eye.
