Unhappy

I am in Germany, my husband is in the military. It takes me over an hour in the morning, outside the gates to get through the line so they can search my car. I was told this would get worse before it gets better, and it has. I read today that 90% of Americans are in favor of the ongoing attacks against the Taliban, even if it means civilian casualties. Are you telling me that 9 out of 10 people are ok with killing innocent people? My husband fights for this country, and if he is killed in service then so be it...however I will never say I do not mind if he dies, or my neighbors, my friends. And then they speek of casualties over there, I do not understand how it is that we have suposidly done so much damage to the Taliban that they are having a hard time operating, yet they will not turn Bin Laden over, this man has been wanted for a long time. There are no clear answers, unfortunately, and the stranger who told me it would get worse, was right. I can only hope that it will get better, that there will be an accepted solution in the end. But this will go on for a long time, who will be next, who will die next. I understand the military isn't employed to come up with "peacefull plans" in a war, I just hope it is able to keep up with smart ones.

What is scary is that this wasn't an attack from a country, these were individuals who walked into our country and attacked us. Inhumane, crazy, evil people. And I agree in attacking whatever it is that breeds this type of a person. I can only hope that minimal people are lost in the end. We know the people there are allready suffering, some say that it's ok if they die, it puts them out of their misery, that is a sick thought.

Ok sorry I'm rambling on...this whole situation is all I've dealt with since Sept. 11th, maybe that's why I'm here, on the internet, to just get away from it, or vent. I am glad to have so many friends from all over the world, I can only hope they are all safe.
