Why do politicians kill innocent people?

Everyday on the news we hear or read that this or that alleged murderer is appearing in court to face murder charges. Why do we never hear of politicians appearing for ordering to kill hundreds, if not thousands of people?

When a person decide to murder or kill someone for whatever reason and this person gets caught, they will have to appear in court to defend themselves. He will need to give reasons for his actions and if he is found guilty, he will receive a jail sentence.

Most of these individuals know the result of his actions beforehand. They either act out of response or act with the knowledge that he will not be caught. The persons with criminal intend to murder will either act knowing they will not get caught or they have no conscience at all, or both.

So if a normal person ends up in court for his actions, then why don’t politicians? When a politician decides to invade a country and indiscriminately kill people with long range missiles and dropping bombs indiscriminately on everyone below, levelling buildings and killing faceless individuals…aren’t they also killers?

When a politician decide to kill instead of using other avenues like negations or discussions or using avenues like the United Nations to resolve matters, what sort of example does that show to everyone? That is ok to shoot then ask questions later? That as long as the killing is in the name of “fighting terrorism”, is it then ok?

We have seen recently examples of where George W Bush orders the attack on Iraqi, killing thousands of women and children while the United Nations were asking for a couple more weeks to search for those elusive weapons of mass destruction. It was not even a question of sending in more troops to search for those weapons, it was flat out war, the world largest and most advanced military in the world taking on a couple of people with guns. That sounds like murder to me!

And then the fourth largest military in the world; Israel, taking on Lebanon, again a few men with a couple of home made fireworks, converted into rockets. This politician Ehud Olmert decided to flatten a cities, drop large; building destroying bombs on civilians, killing hundreds and why, because of two Israeli soldiers being kidnapped inside Lebanon? That sounds like murder to me.

Why aren’t these politicians facing court hearings to explain their killing behaviour? Do they think they will get away with these killings or don’t they have a conscience to realize the amount of grief, destruction and death they are causing? Will the “self defence” and “those terrorists” cards always be played by these dangerous politicians? Will killing thousands of civilians always be justified by saying we have a right to self protection?

These same politicians will say Iran can’t enrich their own Uranium because Iran can’t be trusted with potentially making their own nuclear weapons! In recent history the only nations “entrusted” to have nuclear weapons have mostly been the aggressors. We don’t see Iran confiscating land, building high walls and creating multiple check points. Yet Israel may have nuclear weapons and Iran may not?

When will the world see these dangerous politicians appear in court to defend their murderous actions?

Remembering 911

Which version of 911 will be remembered by our children? The one the US government told us? The one where they say a Boeing 757 can disappear into a small hole in the Pentagon, leaving no large broken off tail sections or wings? Are our children going to be taught in school how two planes could bring down three buildings, flatten them in demolition kind of fashion although scientists can’t explain how jet fuel can melt steel? Will more movies be released telling stories of cellphone calls being made at 30 000 ft altitude?

It is so sad for almost 3000 people to have lost their lives that day in America. It saddens me even more that tens of thousands if not more people lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq as a result on this war on “terror”. How sad is it if I look at how much “freedoms” we have to give up in this fight on “terrorism”. We gladly accept being spied upon, our phone call listened too, our mail intercepted and video surveillance everywhere in the name of “safety”.

This is what that fateful day on 911 left us, the legacy of fear, hatred, war and more questions for those willing to ask. The only bit of light I see out of this event are the few people that do ask questions. It means that not all the people have been hypnotized to belief what CNN or Fox tell them. It means there are at least a few people in this world that can think for themselves or at least ask questions and don’t accept the “official” line.

Five years ago a few evil men needed another “Pearl Harbor” to start the war on “terror”. They seemed to have accomplished that mission. Today we see Israel killing innocent Palestinians, flattening buildings, destroying bridges in the fight on “terror” and the world says nothing. We see airports closed, flights cancelled, people arrested in the UK and people accept this discomfort, because they are fighting “terrorism”. We see people being locked up without court trails in secret jails. We accept this because it is the fight against “terrorism” and because it is not happening to us.

What if these evil men decide to make the new “terrorist’s” face look like yours? What if you are now the one that are locked up without a court trial or being subjected to discrimination because you have the “terrorist’s” look? Will you remain quiet when you are unfairly treated just because of the way you look?

Five years ago we saw evil happening first hand. Most people think that this evil is somewhere over there, sitting in a cave in Afghanistan. It is far closer to “home”. If you truly belief this “official” story about what happened on this day in America five years ago, then the evil has won over your mind. You will then believe their next story of a “terrorist” attack and give up more of your freedoms in the name of safety and security. I am using this 5th “anniversary” of the event 911, to remind me that I should question more the “official” versions of events in this world and not to blindly accept what I am told.

I want the real Truth to be exposed so that when we look back at historical events like 911, that the real historical event is taught to our children. I am not sure if the world is ready for the Truth, the Truth can be much scarier than the lies we are being told and taught. But what is the alternative? To live believing all these lies is like living in a fantasy land, you will also become part of the fantasy land.

I truly hope there are other people like me also looking to gain true knowledge and search for Truth. Then our news papers will tell the real story of what happened on this day 5 years ago or at the very least also question the “official” version told by the US Government.
