Where are we? Beirut? East Berlin? The
Gaza Strip? No, we are in a country that borders my own, where my
brothers live. And are now dying. When will we say 'Enough'?

If you read this, read the comments below, too.
One tries to differentiate between the
Governments of a country and its citizens, but sometimes that's
difficult to do. All Pakis are terrorists, going by what white people
seem to think. In that case, all white people must be rednecks.
Irrespective of who's who and what's
what, I can't for a moment imagine not being able to step out of my
house to buy groceries, or take my children to school, or go to work.
Oh wait, I'm black. I don't do these things. I'm supposed to build a
bomb in my garage, so the Great White Shark, sorry, Saviour from the
West has no option but to send flying toys that pack quite a punch to
annihilate me and my toddlers - who of course would have grown up to
strap more bombs around their chests and kamikazi an embassy or
whatever. What a mercy they were blown up themselves before they
could achieve that grand ambition.
The scary thing is that American
presidents now blatantly encourage murder, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi,
bin Laden. (Isn't that what terrorists were doing? How now do we tell
the difference between anyone?)
Tomorrow, of course, an American Prez
could issue a fatwa against Me. Bloody hell, tomorrow it could be
You. I guess then we'll give a shit.
