America The Beautiful

I really try and stay away from politics these days but…. Whether we agree or disagree that a Mosque should be built 2 blocks away from where the Twin Towers were, I hope we can agree on one thing. The government at the time should have focused a lot more on rebuilding the site, the area, our country, and the nation’s hearts after the attack on 9/11 instead of eventually invading Iraq. My heart goes out to the families of the 9/11 victims, but it also goes out to the families of all the soldiers who lost their lives in a war that I feel should have never been started. I love my country because it was a melting pot of people from all over the world who came here to live because of what it stood for. We can be that country again, but we first need to stop arguing about which religion or political party is the best, and find a way to start getting along with each other. Science tells us we’re all made of the same matter and in that sense we’re all one. Now it’s just a question of acting that way towards one another.
