Well, I watched about 5 minutes of it last night. I simply worry that were getting into a extremely long "war" and the decision was made in less than a week. Getting justice is one think but committing to something we can be talking about 20 years from now is something completely different.

Wes is obsessed with news coverage I think…we listen to the NPR, have it on some news or documentary all the time at home…. Then he mentions something tonight about going back into the reserves. I froze. We talked that one through…but it scared the shit out of me…… Somehow after being military for 8 years (active and reserve) mixed in with a prison guard for 7….I guess being a cable guy in war time just doesn’t help him much…. But he’s working on it. I thought Bush’s speech was good…he made a point to separate the religion they *profess* from the true nature of Muslims, and I felt that was important. Gotta go, getting ready for bed…and I hear a new bin Laden documentary starting behind me *sigh* R Somehow I felt that the prez’s speech was the big bonfire pep rally before the Superbowl of all football games.

How can we not commit? I sure don’t want to worry about a plane-suicide going on every time my family gets on a plane.

Ian……I have thought of this since the beginning, I have talked a lot to Robin, who dealt with death next door in OKC and other people all over…….Losing a part of NYC(people and buildings) are like losing a body part, you can still feel it when it’s gone……. And everyone I know far and wide have been just as distracted, sad and upset as we are……I think the outcome will be worldwide in the trauma department.  I mean surely, we all know the tristate area here is affected but the list of others from all over is just as disastrous. I can’t imagine keeping on in this type of "state" in my mind, trying to eke out a laugh a day or two or just imagining Jesse Ventura beating the shit out of bin Laden and reading this ng and talking to others is the only way we can get through a "vague" war as Margrove called it.  When I watched Traffic (the movie) I was so heartbroken and sad for weeks after over the war on drugs…….I felt it was very "vague" and it is right is okay too……along with us. — TC3 I was going to buy an exercise bike, but couldn’t find one with cruise control. ~Sunkissed~

So far the only discussion I’ve heard about the psych effects of this barbarity have focussed on those who actually witnessed them in NY and Washington. The rough guess seems to be that probably 1 million in NY saw something, and 20%, 200,000,  are at risk of developing PTSD. However, I wonder how many in the wider world will succumb after watching this, especially with the constant repetition.  It seems to me that those watching it on TV saw not only the event, but also the effects on those who were there, and probably experienced much the same emotional connection with these people as they would have by standing alongside them.  This is also the most continual exposure to trauma that humans have experienced. Even combat troops usually get a break every few days. The only comparable experience was that of those involved in the trench warfare of WW1. No doubt much effort will be put into providing counselling for NY and Washington residents, but probably none to anyone else, so I can see PTSD rates worldwide increasing dramatically in the months ahead. I’d appreciate your thoughts, Margrove. Ian

President Bush gave a speech to Congress at 9 PM EDT. Here’s the text:

He also told the other countries of the world that they are "either with us or with the terrorists".  We need help from other countries to stop harboring other terrorist organizations with similar goals to Osama Bin Laden’s gang.

gang. I understand that. What bothers me is there will be things that take place that will be kept secret and years later will come back to haunt us and our president. I imagine there already has been things done. Why we are on a OT subject of this nature. What’s it with Wall Street, greedy SOBs.The investors could of held steadfast and backed up this country. Another thing OT people are saying now is the time to buy stock and gamble that it will turn around.To me I think of that as blood money. Also Boeing is laying of 3000.

I haven’t heard Dubbya’s speech yet….news is a bit thin on the ground here in Aus..unless you sit by a radio all day…or have cable tv. I have no idea what the Hell is gonna happen. I too am torn between the desire to see something happen to those responsible, and the cold reality that in all likelyhood, once again it will be the little people who bear the brunt of the military. Todays "examples’ become tomorrow’s martyrs, to fuel the next generation of extremists….violence begets violence. What a mess.

Response:

Is anyone feeling rather anxious tonight? <sad

yes. I mourn for the loss of all those innocent women and children, adult children of those same women who will all die needlessly defending ideologies of others. I say we take Jesse Ventura and ben ladin and put em in a ring and give em 9 rounds-the winner takes all. I am torn between wanting to kill the fuckers that commited this heinous crime and soothing the poor souls of such a devestated third world country ravaged by its own governing powers. For the sake of this one man and his asshole cohorts a whole load of people die. What a tragic waste of humanity. You can only wage war on terrorism by education and support not by force and death. The Taliban are playing God over the lives of their subjects by harboring a man they believe is sacred  more so then the women and children and innocent civilians he may have been responsible of killing. All for what? He wants us out of the Islamic countries and now we have more presence there. He wants to polarize the west from Islam and is only polarizing himself and the poor subjects of the country he dwells in-which isn’t even his own country. What a mess. This is the calm before the storm-for a few men, many will perish and after he is gone his cell broken up it shall foster new ones and more hatred for our way of life and our democratic society of free people. Anytime  God is brought into man’s folley the true obscene nature of man is displayed. There is no right cause if the cause does not put mankind and love of ones brothers and sisters first. I am torn between wanting retribution and the macho fuck you stance and seeing the mothers of children weep behind their veils the young men die who had little to live for and no hope for a peaceful life of opportunity and personal growth. Enlightenment seems to be part of someone elses equations lately. I guess there are some things that are out of our control and we may be having many discussions over time as to why our world is so difficult on not just a personal level but a global one as well. For the actions of a few many will suffer and this I really have a hard time with. War is hell. I do not want a part of destroying things. I want to fix and build up. It is us against them? They are us and we them. What a dichotomy. I can only try and fight the terrorism we have in our minds-this borderless war  is beyond my ability to fight-my resolve is to still treat all peoples with dignity and compassion, even my so called enemy. Being attacked by Japan brought an easier task at hand. A front an an enemy that did not sulk in shadow but fought head to head   we have 6000 dead-I wish for peace I pray for mankinds wisdom and reserve, for the resolute challenge of making a better world not in the name of some fundemental religion but for all mankind and all religions. I have seen too much suffering from wars from peoples addiction to showing who is stronger tougher better and right. Justice not revenge. Get those who are responsible and allow justice to prevail. this is like the war on drugs-just as obscure and vacuous I pray for the Taliban’s wisdom and faith in mankind-perhaps they will take a turn that is more amicable and productive towards a peaceful resolve. One man may be bringing the world to it’s knees for little more then a childish demand for his own interpretation of the word infidel Ok let’s make it Jesse Ventura against Ben Ladin and Saddam Buy pharmaceutical stock the scripts for ssri’s and benzos are gonna take off peace LM
