Strange to think it's been only 4 years since once of the worst days in history. The day that the "Twin towers" were destroyed for no reason.
WAIT, did I say no reason?? YEP! it's almost as strong a reason as burning a woman at the stake for being a witch. Sure, religion or any "beliefs" have always been used to justify outrageous events and actions, but the ability to make it a global event is what scares me more.
Look at people fighting "in the name of", and look at the people actually suffering from this religious zealotry. Hey, look at the all of the people that died when the two towers fell. How could you justify killing innocent people?? oh WAIT, they don't have the same beliefs as YOU do, they don't live the way that YOU feel they should??
I've made it quite clear that I'm not the biggest fan of the U.s., they use and waste more natural resources that any other country(per capita), they pollute to an extreme, they also have this "we are the world police" thing going(Irag for freedom HA HA, Iraq for oil), but I don't dislike the people, it's the environment that they grow up in I have a problem with. Do I think it's my right to kill them because I don't beleive in the same things?? HELL NO!! Sure, ask me and I'll tell you what I think is wrong, but I won't tell you my way is definitively the best way, it's just my opinion. My only hope it they can consider the things they do more on a global scale, but it appears they have their own problems dealing with a little flood.
I'm so sorry for the people that were effected by the terrorist actions on September 11, 2001. People that were simply going to work so that their kids have safe place to grow up in. People that work hard so that they can enjoy a beautiful sunset, a nice hot bath, or a night with the one they love. NOBODY has the right to take that away from them, that's what freedom is all about.
"
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge.
