The bomb attacks in London today, were almost more of an eye opener for me than 911. I think its because, it proves: It can happen to anyone at anytime. Although 911 was startling and here on our own soil, I can understand why people hate America. We are the big guy. Considered one of(if not THE) biggest and most powerful nations in the world and we let everybody know that. We also tend to spread ourselves out amongst the world "helping" everyone to be more like us. In some ways, we do a lot of good for the world. Yeah, US! But in other's eyes, we are seen as meddlers, conquerors who plan to squash the prexisting religions and government of the countries we "help". But, what about England? Or even Spain? They were the victim of bombing attacks recently too. Also, it reminds us that terrorist attacks will never over for good. When its us against them, things seem more control. Like when the world was fighting Hitler. We all knew who the bad guy was and we all got together and got him. But today it seems like, they hate us, we hate them, they also hate them, but not really those guys and those guys don't hate them, but they do hate that other guy. That to me is scary. I suddenly feel like I might know just a little how our grandfathers and grandmothers must have felt during the cold war. Why can't we all just get along?
