I do so agree with you when you pick up the sentence I use and say Death has long started its walk amongst our world...and does, unfortunately, yet apparently, still have a long path of mischieve and pain ahead of her. Still I believe both nine eleven and eleven of march (as you can see I refer to both in this piece) generated awareness for "the state we're in" - and for things that have been going on for so long, but apparently, for some persons, not long enough, like the israeli-palestinian conflict, the whole middle-east issue amongst other which souldn't be but are often forgotten, like the ilegal occupation of Tibet by China since 1950. The world didn't change after September or March 11, what did change was our - or at least some people's - perception of the world. What I truly regret is that some chose to take advantage of that in order to follow the trail of the "destroyer of the worlds" instead of seeing such moment as an opportunity change towards a new direction.
"Shame on you Mr. Bush. Shame on you" - and I hope I do not offend anyone's political views or feelings with this quote if I do, you must stop to think and wonder if I'm not as entitled as you to have my own opinions. (obviously this does not refer to you nicriver, it's just "food for thought")
Thank you so much for your comment
