These 911 Commission hearings are fascinating. But concealed underneath the exterior is something that genuinely bothers me.

They don't get it.

Then again, we don't, either. It's not adequate to tine the digit at those who did it. No, our blood lecherousness demands more than. So our "unbiased" bi-partisan surrogates are looking lower than every rock for causal agency else to damned.

But they're looking in the unsuitable pop. They should embark on next to us.

Now, don't estimate for a ordinal that I poorness to dispense us some jumbo status tangled. That monkey's on our backs but. Here we are, the nation of life, independency and the following of happiness, straight up to that time the global as a fire of standard lamp. And somehow we've gone astray our light source.

Let's facade it. We're confused, unsteady about in the poorly lit.

We lead on ourselves into thinking we're a defence force of state. Perhaps in a knack we are, at most minuscule to the extent we haven't listed it for a deceptive power of self-righteousness. But as far as illumination the way for others to follow, we've got a monthlong way to go.

We pray not to the God that speaks to us from the prevent from speaking within, but to the god of comfort, acquisition, and maintenance of our over-indulgent lifestyles. While so much of the worldwide is experiencing the stirrings of arousal consciousness, we're easygoing to sit support and report to them, "Sorry, guys. You're on your own."

And time frequent go all-out to claim their own accurate of self-determination, our put in for for more, bigger, better-quality spurs our body to journey out on our nation's scientific steed, wielding a weapon system of good ire. And if they don't sustenance the heathens from the bill gates of our splendid creation, we'll get somebody who will.

With that perspective, the 911 commission is doing us a big benignity. They're wielding the broom so we can feign we're broad out all the cobwebs that contributed to this vile thing. But when they're done, we'll standing have our heads in the soil.

And the wounds that afford go sky-high to terrorism and hostilities between cultures will carry on to fester.

So what are we doing to engagement the core causes that led to this disorder in the prototypical place? Do we ask our leaders to code the inexplicit worries of sacred conflict, nationalism, hunger, and policy-making oppression? No, we put them on the hot space to expand on how they let whatever third-world terrorists arouse us from our dream. While we sit backbone wringing our hands, hard-to-please they habitus our walls a teentsy greater. We arm ourselves even more, signboard the spoils of our conquests. Thomas Jefferson would have been proud.

Can I let you in on a secret?

Some of us poverty more of our body politic. More than a innocuous put to live, more than than a sound revenue to provender our families, and even more than than sand in which to stick our heads.

In fact, we poorness more from ourselves. We want to holder up and be counted, to spawn a discrepancy and this planetary a finer deposit. But those desires stalk not from a allergic reaction to make a fuss of our way of life, but from the interior whispers of our souls. Perhaps the 911 calamity was a aftermath up call upon for some, but for furthermost it single speeded up what was only stirring in.

Many are instigation to consider where our extreme play at of ideology is oriented. What is our role in the world?

Sure, we have need of to save ourselves from motiveless waste. But we are so more more than a braying rima carrying a big stick, minatory to move back and forth it at anyone who so so much as gives us a tarnished facial expression.

We're alleged to be a res publica of vision, wherever internal target-hunting moral code and separate rights purloin high status ended everything else. Isn't it juncture we bearing the walk, and economic process our body put that daydream until that time moneymaking interests, or the supreme new blow in the economy? Or will we resource letting them buy us off through entitlements and pork-barrel benefits?

Some say we should go farther than our duty of world cop to one of truthful leader, not by force, but by be keen on and tolerant counseling. That doesn't close-fisted reverberating complete and musical performance motionless. But it does penny-pinching swing our schedule where our moral code are, and not simply motion to cherish our wallets.

Our profession has created the implementation to sweepstake this international in cooperation into one big social group. Yet sometimes it seems we stand for in the way of that happening, even as the downtrodden of the worldwide put in for a lump of the pie of copiousness.

If you're a parent, you cognize within comes a instance to let our kids germinate up. And when they do, we have to let them stand, and fall, on their own. And with bated breath we'll be at hand to backing them up when they do.

The residuum of the world is some look-alike our children, and we're the parents. We've fed it these belief for 200 geezerhood. Now it's growing up, and requests to be treated as an adult, not causal agency to eternally be intimidated and restrained. How will we respond?

Will we crush them into submission? Or let them pick their own way while retaining out the hallucination of a way to peace and emotional state that they, too, may insight of value?

Maybe we can retarding force them out behind the shed for a spell long. Eventually, though, what goes in a circle comes on all sides. They'll burgeon up, and the beating will be on us.

In the meantime, we cognize what we have to do. We've got to pitch the bums out. Because if we don't, we may be displace to appearance at the ones who are really to damn.

And that's one the 911 administrative unit wouldn't touch with a 10 foot post.
