How to recognize a true democracy: They will keep acting democratic even when they are not treated in a remotely democratic manner.
End of story.

See, that is why.

You know, when I saw the footage of people cheering in the Middle East after the attack, I thought that's an understandable reaction. I still thought it was horribly wrong.
And now, when I see Americans exploding in full-on nationalism and wallowing in self-pity and self-importance, I think that's a perfectly natural reaction, but, yes, still wrong. Not to belittle the American loss, there is no way to do so, it's not up for debate, the loss is huge and I have no doubts it will take the US a long time to heal and they will require help to do so and achieve some sense of closure.
But this is not the way. Flags and hand guns won't do anyone any good.
I'm not really expecting or asking for perspective at this point. I would think not acting until one has found some perspective would be good, though. Until we can get our heads around the fact that this is not about a person or an organisation or faceless evil, we probably should not do anything drastic. I'm saying we because the NATO is also involved in this.
This is, the way I see it, not incomprehensible. It's not. It's perfectly understandable. Why it happened is perfectly clear.
And yes, still incredibly wrong.
I'm going to work now.

I believe this little opus can be summarized in the phrase "Let's kill some arabs, folks".

Stop talking about bombing people. Stop it now. Because so far...
We. Don't. Know. Who. Did. It.

We fell asleep at six in the afternoon yesterday. We woke up now. The door was unlocked, all the lights were on, CNN was left on... A just left for work. We slept for twelve hours, and it was still difficult getting up. We need more sleep.

Apparently seven people have been rescued out of the remains of World Trade Center.
I really don't know what to say and/or have said all I have to say, so...
I have a massive headache.

I'm feeling so confused. And frustrated. People are angry at me and I don't know or understand why. Maybe I am missing something fundamental - or, I most likely am, but what exactly is it? I'm just being me.
Maybe I am not as attentive to other people's needs as I should be, and I am sorry, I'm really trying to do the best I can. And I don't know if it is because I hate it when people are angry at me and won't explain, or if I'm really sick, or if I get really sick when people are angry at me (hah, multiple choice) but I'm cold and shivering and sort of dizzy. I suppose it could be a lack of food too. Overall not such a good day.

We're watching the news. Reading the news. Shocked. I'm talking to people online, trying to understand and trying to push shit away at the same time.
How exactly do you react to something like this? "Hey, sorry your country's being attacked, feel better, eh?" It's so terrible. I can't believe this is actually happening. At the time my boyfriend and I first posted about this, the towers were still up. In flames, but up. Then the internet pretty much died. Now it's back up.
I've heard from everyone I know that are likely to have friends and relatives in NY - seems most are ok. Hope they will all be fine.

More than one thousand souls. I don't know what to say. It's insane, it's overwhelming, I can't imagine the world will ever be the same, ever. I don't even understand what the consequences could and will be. I'm just sure they will be... enormous. And change everything. Forever.

Double latte. Triple sugar. More. Please. I'm incredibly tired for no reason I can think of, and I'm dangerously close to falling asleep. Ergh. I want to go home.

Bla bla bla bla bla bla.
Quiet day at work. Everyone's in a bad mood. Me included. I miss my boyfriend. I want to go home. I want to sleep next to him, warm and safe. I want to be in a dark bedroom close to him. I want I want I want.
