We are
starting to bend with the flow with the bombings in USA..
World Trade
Center… first one and second one… Okla.
Boston
Marathon
We, once
again, look on in horror of it all.. We have actually been very lucky
over the years… After all you consider all the rest of the countries… neighborhoods
blowing up weekly and some daily.
During a
conversation with my English friend, Mel… she reminded me of what they
have lived thru for almost a century. They had the bombing of
London during World War II, they had the bombing from the IRA’S. (Irish Republican Army, for those who forgot)…
And it seems to me
they
had one in 2005…. three bombs exploded
within 50 seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth
bomb exploded on a bus in a Square. The bombings led to a severe, day-long
disruption of the city's transport and mobile telecommunications infrastructure.
She said that the Boston bombing brought back memories of the
1970’s and 80’s with the IRA….who would bomb shopping centers and
pubs.
Never knowing, always looking everywhere at everyone.
As tragic as this is… we, Americans have been very lucky
compared to other countries… sadly I think there is more to come. And Homeland Security is not the answer. Homeland Security has over reacted in the wrong areas and slovenly in the important
areas. It seems
like since it came in force under Bush… the American citizens
seem to be the ones who are dissected like an ant, while foreign
people run thru the country with little to no notice.
