Once again we come to realize that people of all kinds and nations kill for no other reason then hatred of something many of them do not even fully understand. They do it for religion, ideology or because someone has influenced them. I really do not care how supposedly educated they may be or not, it all boils down to being ignorant.
The people captured this week who wanted to kill Americans were Muslims of that countries origin and also immigrants to that country, all with a hatred of Americans. They were imbedded in their own land and a land that accepted them as citizens. They were European, Arab, Turkish or what ever else it matters not, they wanted to kill. They are not all or the majority but enough to raise questions and concerns as to how many more there are as a percentage who think like this?
Are there not the same types everywhere in this new rush to have the world become a melting pot?
Yes, how many are imbedded here in America and elsewhere ready to kill? Yes, accepting all and freely using our systems for their own benefits and with a motive of hate? Yes, we allow them in and we provide them with all even over our very own.
Yes, average Americans are for the most part just plain simple people. Most likely they are in the same boat status wise as those who want to kill Americans, no better, no worse, except Americans simply do not wish to kill anyone but live in peace. Oh, you say then why are you here in Iraq or Afganistan? That is the first question out of the mouths of those who hate America.
Well, many Americans ask the same question. Many thought it was because we were attacked on 9/11or to overthrow a dictator who wanted our demise. Many thought it was religion. The truth is written on the souls who know. Are we ignorant, perhaps a very good argument for the same?
So, lets examine why you feel you should hate Americans so much? I really do not care what nation you are from if you go down the list of sacrifices by Americans in blood and money and untold resources we have always been there when the chips were down and countries needed help. We even have helped those who try to kill us.
Billions upon billions amounting into the trillions of dollars has gone from average Americans to others throughout this world. You name the problem our dollars go. Our forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and around the world have provided help to untold numbers yet, we are the occupiers. Is that because we have wealth or because of a fear we will change your culture and take what is yours?
However, as I said before, the money and help has gone out to all even before help to our very own. Is America so bad that is why the world wishes to flock here? Or is it fear that the old is passing?
Are we involved in destruction and death there? Yes, that is war. We are but and that is a very big but that has many sides to the answer both good and bad. Can it end so we can leave? That my dear friend is by nature of Choice. The Choice of all involved. I think average Americans all feel the same. We want to leave and let you have yours as long as you do not persist in trying to kill us or impose your way on us just like you wish the same from us. But no one will know until we get a chance to leave. Certainly there are those of opposite views who want us to stay.
I believe you got your freedom from under an oppressive government. You voted and formed a government of
your choice, you have been handed something many others in this world would beg for and what do you do?
Yes, you got it and now you kill each other and you know what, you will continue to do so long after America is not there any longer. Yes, you will evidently kill others who do not fit your perspective or way of life. Yes, like many humans you do it and blame others as the cause. Yes, you do not even have the courage to identify within yourselves your own faults and weaknesses. It is easier to blame others. It is easier not to admit the truth and point elsewhere for failure. Somehow God made them for you to kill or convert but perhaps you can't, just can't accept the fact that it may be you and not them?
You see in many peoples opinion once America leaves you will turn toward each other with a fury even more intense then that you have now and toward each other, of the same faith no less. Each in reality believing themselves right. There will no longer be an America to blame so you will want to rid yourselves of your very own.
Yes, you have a CHOICE and you evidently are blowing it with ignorance, racism, deceit, lies and above all hatred.You could have extended the hand of peace to all and perhaps America just may not be there now? But no you chose the path of death because you allowed the sore of hate to fester and to spread. At least you could have been able to say, see we live in peace and America refuses to go, then truth would be on your side, but you have not done any of that because frankly you hate. It is a fact you cannot deny if a person wishes to call themselves honorable. You don't have to admit it but it is none the less what it is.
Now I have no problem with disliking exploitation or greed or wrong doing by Americans or anyone. If that is what you perceive of America, then spell out just who is doing it and what is being done? Ask us to help you rid it from your land. God knows the lies of all if we or you are guilty. But we can work to end offenses against
each other, but are you to tell us there there are no others involved of your own?
Oh, only those who do not agree with you, I see. Are you afraid to speak out? I can understand that but and this is a big but, because if do not place the blame on others when you know the real truth you do not solve the problem. Also, if you speak against exploitation don't look at average Americans who are just about holding their own so YOU can have something! Look at those who do yours and anyone else.
Americas are fed up with the entire world as many of you seem to be with America. There are no polite wars and innocent people do get killed on all sides. So the best way to stop it on both sides is to stop the conflict.
Yes, in every case our American forefathers warned us to stay clear of the rest of the world and their thinking and problems. Rhetorically is it because of Global designs that we are embroiled everywhere? Perhaps that is the folly and the sin of it all?
Yes war is a never ending cycle until one submits. Who wins, I guess the dead because the hate never goes away. Your culture is just one example of that. Hate even hundreds of years later for each other never mind Americans.
Yes, America also has faults that need to be corrected. Yes, Americans detest greed, exploitation and all the other negatives, which regretfully some Americans foster on other Americans and others in many ways, as others do in every nation, but which you attach seem to all Americans regardless of their station in life.
I look to Spain with its diversity of culture as an example. Here is where East met West and they cohabitate peacefully. They have given to each other their wisdom, technology, architecture, education, history, culture and values all out of which started as hatred and death. Yet, in the very place where much of this all originated you cannot even open your door in peace.
Instead of killing, develop your nation into one that can share its culture, rid itself of exploiters and greed merchants of every nation and become a leader and as great as you once were. Trade out of mutual respect and fairness if that is even possible with man. Im sorry it all starts with a Choice. We in America have the same challange.
If Love is the highest level of attainment for Muslims and the same for Christians and others religions then why is it that does not seem possible? Is it always the other, hate?
I love my nation and feel that we have a lot of work to do here in America not only for us but also for the world. You can join in creating that world of peace, or you can join in death. The choice starts with each of us as we travel The Road of Life. The road you take will either lead to life or to death. So, "what good to gain the entire world but lose your soul"? Sounds like good advice no matter what your belief.
