skyhawk 2 #1 September 18, 2001 wow how the world can change, a week ago the world was looking for peace instead of war, a week ago the two towers still stood, a week ago thousands where still alive, a week ago the world thought terrorism wouldnt effect them, a week ago americans woke up to another day in their mundien lives, a week ago the world was not united against terror, a week ago talk centered on a billion things now just a few, war, terror, fear ppl of my generation havnt experienced this at this magnitude before, for some reason humans never learn until its to late. this thursday its time up for the talibine where will we be in a weeks time, the world will be changedm for the better or the worse who knows. im pro military strike hell i want to join the army, to defend my country, but what if next week the world isnt the way we want it ,what if next we have butchered millions of innocents then start to feel quilty, what if next week the world is in a nuclear winter, what if next week humans cease to exist. retaliation is needed but think about everthing first wether it be the abuse of an innocent arab neighbour or support of a nucluler strikemy generation now know the fear of the war cloud hangiong over us, a future where friends will dissapear forever where ppl will see and suffer unmentionable attrocities.I still want to fight but I now am starting to understand what the cold war generation meant about constant fear, and the vietnam veterans about how you do NOT want a war no matter how cool it looks on tv. We are going to a war that is a fact but for once lets learn from our mistakes i dont know how but i hope that the next generation dont fall prey to the evil that has, in the past and is about to sweep the world. i hope all they know about war will be from history books i know its a big ask and i dont have any of the answers but after this is over, if we are still her mayby the whole world should have anther look at itselfthe human race is on a track to ultimate destruction we control the reigns we can turn it around, but it has to be a world wide thing a person can not turn around if they only use one muscle it needs them all working in unisonps.

DZBone 0 #6 September 18, 2001 Nice one, skyhawk. Fuk the spelin.We are about to get into something no generation has ever faced. We've been putting it off, I think, and now we've paid a terrible price.Every world conflict seems to be different. WWII had very clear lines of right and wrong, and clear use of military force. Up until the nuke, anyway. Viet Nam introduced television to war, which introduced the reality of war to the masses. That, on top of a weak moral imperitive and a difficult tactical situation, well... you know the result. By the Gulf War, we were back to clear right and wrong, and the military had learned to use the media to its advantage. We had also knew how to fight that kind of war. That was an easy one (unless you were there - war is hell, they tell me).This next one can go either way, I would guess. Hopefully, we have learned from Viet Nam (and our own Revolutionary War) how/if to fight insurgents in difficult terrain with minimal civilian casualties, but I doubt it. Not that we are ignorant, but that it is too hard a problem. The moral imperitive sure seems clear now, but is already starting to get muddied up. This is not a whole nation in a single region that can be carpet-bombed. This enemy is more like the drug industry. It will be hard to find the right people and bring them to justice. Our experience as police will better serve us than our experience as soldiers, although it will take an interesting combination of both to do this one right, along with some serious diplomatic strength, to open doors, prevent "misunderstandings" and collect intelligence.God help us.
