damn, am tearing now. just read an article in newsweek about the life of the 'tomb raiders' in iraq. it just struck me straight that, if one person's death could affect their emotions that much, shouldn't a death on the enemy's side affect the enemy as much? somehow, they say that they are fighting for their country and feel proud for it. isn't that insurgents doing that as well? shouldn't they have a right to feel that the americans are 'invading' them?

true, they might have freed them from saddam's rule, but in an environment where chaos ensues, is it any better? the fighting and everything else despite the war being officially over, doesn't it affect the children? could they actually expect to have a happy childhood with imprints of dead people's images upon their minds? i don't know it at all. how could people actually do this to each other? tear each other to shreds, break up families, causing people to be raised in one parent families. is that joy to them? to both sides of the people in the war? do you actually possess as little humanity in you as to be able to stand such horror, to live with the knowledge that you killed someone, marring the future for someone?

can you actually ever be truely happy? i don't know. i don't know at all.
