The mind boggles

As yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks in America and the so called war on terror is still going on, it makes you wonder.
What makes someone strap a bomb to themselves or hi-jack a plane to kill innocent people. Why get on a plane that has small children on it (I didn't realise until yesterday that some children were killed and the were the same age as my son)
I can understand the hating of the west and wanting to make them pay, but it's the fact that it's only ever innocent people that die. We suffer at their hands, The terrorist and the politicians. Sometimes i don't know who is worse.

Will my son grow up knowing that no matter what he does or says he could be killed because of where he was born.

In five years we've had
New york
Washington
Deli
Madrid
London

That works out as one a year. Whats next?

Was there really a plot about the planes. I keep feeling as there is so much we don't know and that is being kept from us. We have a right to know.

I don't blame just Blair or Bush, i include the people around them as well. Also i blame us. That's right US, the voting public. We gave them the power, we put our little crosses on the ballot paper. So we gave them the power to make the decisions we can't, won't or shouldn't make.
We sit at home saying he shouldn't have done that, but we don't see what he sees and we don't hear what he hears. If we did would we make a different decision?
If we want to change things we should do it and stop talking about it.
