World at War

I was just watching a movie of short films put together dealing with the events of 9/11/01. It is horrifying to watch those people jumping out of windows, flailing away as they rush towards the earth. Horrifying to think of those passengers aboard the planes that crashed and the terror they felt. It made me think about others in this world who live in terror. From those people who quest for enough food to survive another day, to car bombings in Israel to shells falling in Palestine, people devasted by natural disasters. Natural disasters aside, the other events are mostly man-made and made me think about who the real enemy is. People killing in the name of religion, for power, for oil, ethnic cleansing. The real enemies of this world who see human sacrifice or the sacrifice of the environment as a justifiable cost in their pursuit of their goals. How I wish people could see the real villains of the world and unite against them. Take up arms against the multi-nationals and crooked governments and tyrants of the world. You want to prevent another 9/11? The root of that evil, as are others, is easily seen if you look. Until then, innocent people will continue to die while others make their fortunes. Where are you Rainbow Warriors?
