Just like 3 grey's said...I also used to be very anti-war, anti-military, and I never had much patriotism (sp?) until this all happened. I am now, more then ever before, hoping we can put a stop to the terrorism before they get any more attacks on the United States by whatever means necessary. I have been living in fear every day since Sep. 11th. I have been treating every day as if it were my last, just in case we are hit with chemical or biological warfare. I am trying to talk my husband into just taking a few weeks to a month off work, renting a small RV, and driving across country and head north and then out west. That's something I have always wanted to do. I am only 26 years old and I am already thinking that there's a chance I won't be around for very much longer. I think this is very unhealthy and sad. The only way I will start to feel better about my life is if the monsters who did this are wiped out. I don't want to be afraid anymore, I want to grow old and I want to experience the magic of motherhood someday. Those monsters are taking my dreams away from me and I think, for the first time in my life, that the only way they will stop attacking the US is if they are destroyed. I am not a violent person, and I would not wish death on anyone...unless in this extreme case, where death is the only way to stop these monsters. There is no talking to them and coming up with a peaceful medium. It's do or die with those monsters. It truly is good vs. evil, as Spencer said.

I want my life back. I want my dreams back. I want to not have to worry about having my whole family and all my friends vaccinated against anthrax (sp?) and losing all of our pets, because according to my vet, pets are very suceptable to it and there are no vacs or cures. I know Graham can sence my fear and he may also be able to sence that I worry about his future as well as mine, my families, and my friends'.

So, of course I would love to come to a peaceful aggreement between the US and the terrorists and the countries who harbor them, but they would rather die then accept the US for what She is. They will not give up without a fight, so a fight is necessary at this point.

I have read several new-age emails that stated we should "bomb them with butter", meaning we should, instead of bombing them with conventional weapons, we should give them mounds of gifts, food, clothing, and build a beautiful, huge house of worship in their poorer areas. The assumption is that it would make them feel differently towards the US and they would have more respect for us and they would quit the extreme hate and the terrorism. I honestly feel that as long as there are Christians in this country the hatered will go on, regardless of what "peace offerings" we give them. I think they have proved themselves to be unforgiving and radical and unconpasionate.

I pray that somehow they are wiped out so I can get my dreams back and I can wake up feeling happy again. And as much as I would love peace, it's just too late for that. We are dealing with a force more evil then anything we have dealt with before, and they will do it again unless we get rid of them by means of war.
