Earlier, i mentioned that years ago my brother had been to some miserable parts of this world and seen some truly horrific scenes. These images run through his mind almost every night and prevent him from having even a few hours of decent sleep. He can't seem to stay grounded in his day to day life at times, and its a real shame to see because he really had it together when he was younger.
The news we see on TV and in the papers has been depressing and mind-numbing to say the least. If it's not Mother Nature hitting us with all she's got then it's man killing man and the news crews are bringing it to us up to the minute and in glorious high-definition clarity. Sometimes I feel like jumping off a bridge.
The one hotspot that gets me the most is Southern Afghanistan. I get very emotional because roughly 2400 Canadian soldiers are in harm's way fighting the Taliban and certain segments of Al Qaida including Osama Bin Ladin. These monsters, and anyone like them must be stopped quickly so they don't slowly suck the life out of good people and their efforts to build something special for their families. (Ok, so democracy and western civilization isn't all it's cracked up to be.) My point is there has to be an organization or group of concerned individuals with the power to make certain decisions in order to eradicate this blight on our world decisively and without remorse... I was thinking of a dirty bomb with a low kiloton yield that just happened to accidently fall out of it's bomb bay cradle on a region of southeastern Afghanistan/northwestern Pakistan and rid the world of these miserable foques once and for all.
