Remembering 9/11

Today is 9/11 again. My heart goes to the families of the 2,977 victims of that day, AS WELL AS the families of victims of the other equally bad, if not worse, atrocity that mankind can commit -- the unnecessary Iraq War, in which 100,000 innocent civilians (source http://IraqBodyCount.org/) -- together with 4,736 US soldiers -- were killed, for no good reasons.

What is worse then terrorism? It is the indifference towards terrorism! More specifically, it is the attitude of seeing and condemning only the atrocity from "the other side" but not the atrocity from "our side". It is the attitudes of "Oh you know all politicians are like this", "Well but there is oil over there", "What can I do? History is full of these"...

Stand up, People! Prosecute the murderers and stop the atrocities from happening again!

War of Terror

In memory of September 11th ...

How should we define terrorism? Shall we say it is the violent act of an organization who has no regard of innocent human life when pursuing its political, religious, or ideological agenda ? How about Bush and Cheney's Iraq War? Shall we say it is a "War on Terror" or a "War of Terror"? One hundred thousands (100,000) innocent Iraqi civilians (source http://IraqBodyCount.org/) were killed in the Iraq War -- about 30 times more than the number of victims killed in 9/11.
