4 Feb lunch blog (my opinion)

ya know, even though i live in germany (an old european enclave situated between the old european alps, and the baltic and north seas) i still love america and all that it stands for. but of late (4 years and some odd weeks) i cant understand some of the things happening in and with america. for the records; 1. no, i didnt lose anyone in the WTC attacks (for which i am most thankful) 2. no, i personaly dont know anyone who lost anyone (to my knowledge) 3. no, i didnt personaly didnt know any policemen or firemen who died in that tragic and cowardly attack 4. no i have not fought in any wars to protect america (i served 4 years between grenada and GW-I) 5. yes, i detest terrorism, and no, i cannot understand the mentality of terrorists (i cannot condemn terrorists, as that is not mine, but each his god) but i believe that all makes me no less american. i cannot understand why so many people trust bush and co. so much. as michael moore (www.michaelmoore.com / mailinglist@michaelmoore.com ) has repeatidly stated, about half the americans dont trust him and his "friends" and that is good so. whilst sitting outside of the states, i dont see all the news that runs in american t.v., but i see reports about different countrys, i see the german news, and while yeah they are biased towards germany, i think they do not "invent" the news concerning america or other country around our big blue. i wonder why people in america think they have the right to make judgement of "old europe", whilst the themselves are being (sometimes, willingly) fooled by a regime, that has steadily lied to, maimed, and killed its own citizens. in the name of peace? where is there peace in that? are the iraqis living in peace now? where was america as the kurds stood up to sadam a few years ago? where did all thos weapons and money come from? AND WHERE IS BIN LADEN? remember him? the guy who killed (or had killed) all those poor people in the WTC on september 11th? the american "informitive agencies" (cia, fbi, etc.) can (suposedly) read the newspaper over your shoulder when you lay in your garden, they can detect a bomb from a distance, and it seems, they can do so much, they are so great! AND WHERE IS BIN LADEN? still on the loose, straaaaange.my theorie is, they know exactly where he is, and as long as he stays there, everything is good, because america has an enemy to fight (my theorie, he is in saudia arabia with the family, but that is only my idea, and i have no proof, so to all you cia geeks, please dont kill me :-( ) enough of my ravings, should i have offended anyone, please excuse me, that is not my intention, but that is life. and as and old german (an old european enclave situated between the old european alps, and the baltic and north seas) saying goes "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and most of them stink!" yo, rave on!
