I rushed home for my weekly session of Commanding Heights.
And what I got was just a dialogue session with Young Ming on the September 11th incident. Somehow with the impending war, with America ready to go to war in the name of justice, with more blood to be shed, the September 11th attack seemed so insignificant. They are trying to convince us that it is a retributive strike, that they are acting in the name of peace and justice. And blood is about to be repaid in blood, violence returned by violence. Somehow the exchange does not seemed right. Superficially it seems like a fair exchange, but more lives will be lost. To replace loss with loss, somehow just create more deficit than before.
When they said that they are fighting for the good of the world, I think I have a different definition of good. I felt cheated, so should the rest of the silent world.
