From the Other Side

I couldn’t resist looking at how they’re reporting the Khan bombing in Jerusalem. In that city, they’re used to this kind of stuff. Their impression is right on the spot: “Egyptians Baffled by Bombing”.

“No Egyptian could have done this.” Each time something bad happens, we stick our heads in the sand. When it is proved, as in the 9/11 case, everybody goes to the edge to cloud the truth. Why? To avoid loosing our faces. It would be better if we dared facing the facts.

“This will never happen again,” is another typical comment. To find comfort, we hold on to the belief that this was only an isolated act. It wasn’t: it happened before and it will happen again.

I’m scared Suzi, how about you? God Bless.
