I'm sorry, London
Jul. 7th, 2005 02:56 pmJen called this morning to tell me about bombings on the Tube. The whole thing continues to be totally unfathomable to me. I guess it doesn't help that I live in a fantasy world where everyone thinks like I do about everything. (Of course they do, because I'm always right!) Since I can't possibly imagine wishing violence on anyone, it is always stunning to me that someone else can.
I hate that these things continue to happen, which only reinforces the warmongers that lead some of our world powers. I hate that the smug smirk will come out again, the "See, I told you so," the popularity of war and the need to "kill terrorists" rather than eliminate terror and hatred. When will we see notification of another 'successful, completed operation' that is neither completed nor successful?
At times like this I /really/ feel like I'm wasting time doing what I do when CLEARLY I should be working for world peace. But oh wait, that shit got funding cut AGES ago.
p.s. I'm sorry, London.
