43. I refuse to be a pawn in their game...
at least not willingly. If they tell me to be scared of something, then I won't be. It's the things they don't tell us about that we should be afraid of.

Do I believe there are "terrorists" out there? Sure, I do. But the word "terrorist" has become a catch-all term for all muslims who have a beef with the U.S. and or Israel. Do you remember Timothy McVeigh? He was no radical muslim. I don't necessarily think we are creating terrorists, so much as we are creating enemies. Anti-U.S. sentiment is on the rise, all over the world. We will never combat this with war.

The bottom line is, we must not allow ourselves to be controlled by fear or hate. We must not allow ourselves to be controlled by the media.
