Mother of all Bombs

I read about the US dropping a bomb that killed 26, no 36, no 94 people. Now India just said there were 500 more. I have to ask; “How did it get to this point?” We are so afraid of these people that we drop a 21 ton bomb on them and kill all those people. I paid for part of that bomb. I am responsible for a portion of that action.

That, of course is to prevent them from killing us and our loved ones. I ask myself; “What could I possibly have done that would cause someone to want me dead? It was so bad that they are willing to give there own life to kill me. They even want to kill my kids! What did they do? What could they have done?”

I know there are crazy people out there, but this group has a lot of followers. I can’t help but wonder, “How did this all start?” Is it just a huge misunderstanding? A misunderstanding that is worth killing each other for? Really? It has come to that point and I am not even aware of the cause?

Have you ever said something to someone, and they took it wrong? I know I have, but I don’t think I ever said it wrong. I said it right, but they took it wrong. Every time? Really? Somebody started this thing and it sure got out of hand.

I am by no means saying we started this mess and we deserve to die. I am not suggesting that we are to blame in any way. But, they sure think so. Maybe, just maybe they are not 100% wrong. Maybe we are not 100% right. Obviously, they believe we are 100% evil. Does it have to be that one of us is 100% right and the other is 100% wrong? Did we do something at some point that they took the wrong way? Did we hurt them somehow that we are unaware of? Is this really just a bunch of radical religious haters?

I don’t know. At this point, it probably doesn’t matter. We obviously cannot go back to a time before it started. Now, we are killing them and they are killing us. There are no winners, only losers. Someday, we may know who lost most. We will call the other side, “Winners.” I hope, someday we can work as hard to understand and be understood as we do to get revenge.
