Terrorists suck.

Yesterday morning when I woke up, the morning after the terror attacks on London, I had this moment about half way through my morning routine when I realized that the world could be in chaos and I wouldn't even know. I hadn't been listening to the radio. There are no TVs upstairs, so no TV in the background. I had this sudden mini panic attack of 'Oh my god, what if bombs have gone off at 50 other places since the last time I was paying attention?!'

I feel for all the lives lost and I am filled with sorrow for those innocent lives and all the surrounding lives impacted by these ruthless acts.

I think the worst impact is robbing all of us (British included, now) of our security. There was a time when it was safe to sleep through the night. When people felt they could tune in to music instead of news radio in the mornings. When we could all sleepwalk onto our trains, our buses, our airplanes, under the hypnotic spell that was the myth of our security, that is no more.

Is the time is coming for us all to shake off the sleepy head of egocentric apathy and unite toward a common resolve? Personally I think being in Iraq is stupid and pointless, and failing to accomplish anything except to reinforce negativity about the U.S. There must be some better and united direction to go to, rather than everyone existing on their own island of humanity, I do believe we must find it. We are compelled to find it.

I am no politico. I do not care to be. I will, however, unite and fight (figuratively - literally, to struggle, work, leave my comfort zones and make efforts in some way) to regain my sense of security.

Terrorists suck.
