I felt it was a necessity for me to stand up in defence (British spelling) of Dreamflake and although I try to keep my arguing here in Lindaland on a minimum, I shall certainly stand as a shield for Dremflake here!

Please endeavour to read what I have to say with an open heart and please don't take it personally, but My-S-Elf feels obliged to protest against everything you have written in this post.

Dreamflake named the post THIS IS WAR! - and rightfully so. Those pictures and text are showing what is happening in Iraq NOW. What happened in New York in September 2001 was certainly one of the darkest, most evil moments humanity has ever had to face. It was horrible, yes. It deserves every condemnation, yes. It will certainly never be forgotten - absolutely. But, it was not war. It was a terrorist attack.

That's why I remain convinced that LL's post about 11/09/01 was GROSSLY misplaced when it was put here.

Why did I think that LL's post was TRAGICALLY misplaced?

Because, contrary to what you may believe, I actually spent a lot of time thinking and praying about the victims of the 11/09/01 - which is proven by the many lexis I've done about that event.

Coming here today again made me remember them (and all victims of violence, war and terror) and I actually thought to my-S-Elf: How would I feel today if I were in the Twin Towers in New York that day?

Let me tell you, Alena and Lost Leo, I would feel outraged, sad, disappointed, angry and let down - to realise that someone (like you two) could use my tragedy and memory of me AS AN EXCUSE FOR AMERICAN AND BRITISH SLAUGHTERING OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT IRAQIS AND AFGHANS.

Not in my name.

Foolishly assuming that by slaughtering so many innocent lives we will save ourselves from nuclear weapons? Or that we would make this world a safer place? Or that we would diminish terrorism? What pathetic excuses, Mr Bush & Mr Blair, you are insulting my intelligence.

But I guess to some people, for going to war, any excuse they can be persuaded to believe is good enough.

Well not for me. I WILL ALWAYS PROTEST AGAINST WAR. ANYWHERE. ANYTIME. AND AGAINST TERRORISM, I hasten to add.

Alena, you hurt my feelings with all your posts. The fact that you can insinuate such rubbish and suggest that people can inflict such horrible wounds on themselves as shown on the photographs... leads me to conclude that: you never gave Dreamflake's post any attention. Because had you gone through the pictures and read the text, you'd never have written something like that! EVER.

I am ashamed to be sharing a site with you. But I will not give up - comforted by the thought that, if Linda Goodman were alive today, she'd be standing right here beside us opposing this preposterous invasion of Iraq.

Lastly, I AM not anti-American, and don't you even dare assume something of a sort! But I certainly am against everything Alena and Lost Leo have posted here.

The USA has some great GREAT people and perhaps this is a good time to remember some of them:

Ms Jody Williams and Ms Mairead Corrigan McGuire - Nobel Prize Winners, Europe does hear of your heroic acts. I love you.

And Dreamflake, well done once again. It's such a privilege that, on my journey to the Light of the full-born Wisdom, I met you.

1) You are wrong, the death count has not risen above one thousand yet, don't exaggerate to give your statement more impact, it works retroactively to make it seem futile

2) And almost all of that death count are armed enemy combatants...

Not hundred of thousands of civilians

Give me a break you are so off

So you're defending your countrymen in here... Answer me this???

Did we slaughter all the Serbians who WERE committing ethic cleansing & about to take over your country?
LOL, Get some perspective!!!

ABOUT 9/11: Don't EVER tell me you feel for our country!!!! You have NO CLUE the impact of an attack on the US soil. We, as Americans DO NOT expect ANY ATTACK... EVER!

And we will do whatever we DAMN WELL PLEASE TO PROTECT OURSELVES!

To sum up... you have no international perspective in my book, & you sit in this isolated little corner of the world which has no real impact on anything.

I'll use Frederick Hegel to conclude,
Like the Etruscans your civilization will be tossed aside, only a worldly historic civilization matters, because the farthest evolved has incorporated all of the previous historical civilizations, Ancient Egypt & China, then to Ancient Greece, then Ancient Rome, then to Arab-Muslim World, then the France during Enlightenment, then to England, and then to the United States.

We are the historically signicant power of this age, no one has superceded us, so we will do WHATEVER we feel is in our best interest in this world, we own it!

And overall, we are looking out for the betterment of the world...

I mean we want to set up a democracy not an authoritarian regime, we are the Great Philanthropists!

I mean look at the US Cabinet, it is comprised of ALL Political Scientists; Powell, Rice, Cheney, etc....

We are trying to change the world for the better, & my heart goes out to the people who cannot see the bigger vision.

The US is remaking THE WHOLE WORLD in this era, we are taking it to the next level, Hegel would say we are advancing human civilization to a higher echelon of sophistication & success.

Hey, let's all stop being a puppets of any of this world's leaders, let's turn to our real selves and start believing we all have a pleasant, secure and comfort place uppon our beautiful Universe and the only way to achieve this is through a strong, daily faith and self-development!

I don't give a s*** about any of our presidents, premier ministers or whomever. I believe that John and Jane Doe are the biggest and the most brilliant people in the world.

Miracle, you are my miracle and you keep reminding me of the miracle within my heart daily. Thank you!

LostLeo, I pray your anger goes out of your body and soul and hurts noone, if possible. I hope you'll hug a child within you and be proud of this child's purity.

Alena, I feel your heart quite a lot, keep it warm! I can feel your tendency to be confused from time to time, but I strongly stand by your intuition - shut your ears and enjoy the symphony!
