some thoughts on day 1

[Nika Bertram]

sorry, but i have to agree with arne's anti-militarian views.
if this was an act of terrorism, why fight back by declaring war on a
whole country?

.. and i'm german, and my parents both lost their childhood and fathers in
a stupid and senseless war and are still traumatized and their lives
forever destroyed. and my grandma was no nazi. in fact, she burned the
"fuehrer"-portrait every household was supposed to have, at the news that
war had broken out. ok, so i'm younger and didn't experience war myself,
does this background "qualify" me enough to make any statement? *sg*

hell, my grandfather got killed by the russians
and my parents used to hide in cellars in fear of air raid attacks from
the allies
still, i learned russian, read russian authors, and love anglophile
culture, even more so than german, most of the time..
will eye-for-an-eye-thinking ever stop?
where will it lead us to? 

right now, i feel really sorry for all the victims,
but also afraid of the politicians' propaganda calls for more
intelligence, surveillance etc. - and the mob's
anti-muslimist aggressive voices. 

anyway, it seems we're still all very nervous, so maybe we should better
be trying to get some sleep instead of mailing..

still sad .. and sick.
