I will say that here in the US we are all very touched by the show of support we have gotten at least in terms of civillians dead from around the world.
Let's put it this way: when Fidel Castro says he will support the U.S., as an American, you think, "Wow. This is a big deal."
Here in America, we have all had the collective shit scared out of us this week. I think, for me anyway, last night was the night it finally became real that this happened.
What REALLY scares me is that I can see that that this leading to a world war. Not something I want at all. But I don't see, as someone who is just guessing how my military thinks, any way out of this other than strongarming (I mean, hey, I know how my government acts even under most circumstances) all countries to "take sides."
There's no way (that I see anyway) for the U.S. to "win" this other than engaging in a world war. And that, to me, is absolutely terrifying.
But I must say here in the U.S., on another level, my friends and I have been bawling like every day when we see the shows of sympathy from other country for those killed in these attacks. But as I said earlier, this horrible event adds a personal element (for we americans) not just to this bombing, but for other tragedies accross the globe.
At least, that's how I feel. |
