[quote][b]The Jaydes (Sep 11, 2001 11:31 p.m.):[/b] [center][4][b]Babies of the Millennium[/b][/4][/center] Written by The Millennium Child on September 11, 19101 at 20:41:59: The World Trade Center. The Pentagon. These and a few other sites, attacked by terrorists. From where, it's still not entirely certain... and it doesn't matter to me. All I care about is that more babies are going to die. War. War! In this day and age. I know what the experts all say, everyone knows what they say - if and when the third World War comes about, it will be the end of the world. This cannot be a war, please, not a World War. I have beautiful, loved men in the Marines. I have suddenly realized that I love this country. For a long period of time, none of the past generations have been able to escape large-scale violence such as what happened this day. Is it finally our turn? I was in New York only yesterday. Right next to the bay, right under the North Twin Tower. I was so close to being one of the passengers in the hijacked airliners - American Airlines, I boarded off less than twelve hours ago. Dulles Airport, for God sake. How close I came. Too close! How can I help but be afraid? I've seen the news, and I can imagine what they won't let the cameras show. Kamikaze. Suicide. Broken, burned, blooded lives. How could they hate America so much? This was a holy mission for those terrorists, to die for the murder of those mass "Satans". Those Americans. They must have known that they could not possibly defeat us in a war. But they attacked anyway, the worst attack ever known in United States history. So sickening to me. They were too full of hate to live...! But if that were true, would it also apply to those innocents who died, whose naivety disillusioned them to feel safe? Were they too innocent to live? In our extreme peace, brought about by our strength, we have inevitably become weak. How the world greets the third Millennium A.D.! And now they know, the whole world knows... that we were never invincible. So what will we do, how will we retaliate? Bomb something of theirs, right. Murder their innocents, just as they did ours. Pointless, so pointless. Why would anyone counterattack with a squirt gun if they had a glock in their pocket? But if the height of the assailant reaches barely up to one's chest, where's the justice in that? Where's the dignity of the nation? None here. I keep thinking of those Saudis, the Palestinians, the Afghanistanis, all celebrating in their streets. Because we Americans are crying in ours. All of it for our babies. For their deaths, finally "avenged", they shout for joy. And for our deaths, so new, so many, and the fear of deaths that may yet still come, we rise up in grief and anger. All for the dead babies. But as this next generation survives and grows into this world, they will not have forgotten this morning's attack on America. Not the terrorists’ children, not ours. And after all of the dust settles, after all the aggrieved souls' memorials have been built, nothing will have changed. Nothing ever does. "The more things change, the more things stay the same." Quote. The Earth is blind to its broken, burned and blooded babies of time. [i]A letter by Jadyn Alba[/i][/quote]
