Watching all the 9-11 coverage today remembering what happened seven years ago is hard to watch. I watched the History Channel with my son Ryan today. It helped us talk about terrorism and the irrational belief systems that sustain fanatical behavior. The scenes of the towers falling were almost too much to soak in again. How could Bin Laden live with himself after being responsible for all of these deaths. When he watches specials like these, is he moved at all by the death and desperation, the families hurting, the sons losing mothers and fathers? What kind of irrational belief system or magical thinking by Bin Laden leads him to be cocky about it and boastful? The truth is that Bin Laden is just as human as any one of us and something has led his mind down this stupid path.
If only we could scientifically discover what leads to this kind of thinking, that you have to kill thousands of people(mostly innocent people) to make your point. I don't get it. Mr. Bin Laden please try to explain it to us. To call you evil is too big a compliment, it would fuel your ego. The truth is that you just as human as we are and have taken the wrong path, simply the wrong path. The truth is that you are tragically stupid.
