Winston's got nothing on this Churchill

wow... that's some interesting writing right there Mr. Churchill. I can't say that I disagree with him at all in any respect. I can believe that Ward got some pretty heavy criticism on this article-turned-book, but everything he said in his words needed to be said.
I love my country and I am incredibly happy that we are living in a time of extreme patriotism, but Americans need to open their eyes. The world literally stopped in order to watch the 9-11 events, speeches and reactions of the American people. Whether they cheered in the streets or cried with us; they watched. How many times has this happened in reverse. When a train was blown up in Northern Spain in the not-so-far away past, the world stopped as well...except for America; I'm sad to admit that I had no idea about this either. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. We as Americans tend to rest very comfortably inside our capitalist bubble and ignore the rest of the world, but it is very obvious from the terrorist threats and attacks that the rest of the world does not ignore us at all. This is very dangerous. We cannot trust our leaders to hold our hands and protect us from the people who will do us harm. It is our right and privilige to seek out this information, especially those of us who are quick to judge Mr. Churchill and call him a nazi or equate him to anything remotely resembling terrorism.
Yes it was hard to read this article knowing how close the tragedy of 9-11 still is in the heart of the American people, but the statistics that Churchill brings to light are incredibly important as a way of putting things in perspective and maybe seeing the situation from someone else's eyes. Maybe this book will inspire more people to educate themselves about the way of the world, no matter how ugly the picture. The more educated people are and the more they care about other people who do not have the opportunities that we enjoy, the less violence and hatred we will see, at least this is my hope.
