The War on Terror : Reloaded, Deluxe Version.

Today Christmas day, the Christmas spirit fills up your rooms, smiles wonder from face to face without interruption or distinction and laughter follows throughout our western society and a bit all over the world we rejoice. Even if Christmas is some what divergent from the it's original source, the essential spirit of Christmas which to cherish and give praise to what we have the most important in our lives, is still widely alive and this essentially Christian spirit which has procured our Western Society in my mind some of the most fundamental values we have, those of love and of the need to shed the barriers of fear.
Pope during his annual Christmas speech said that the real meaning of Christmas had to be reinvigorated and I think (and I differ with him and the institution that he leads in many ways and on a wide set of points). The "modern" Capitalistic values as opposed to the 'classical" Capitalistic values, that run our world today have tried to chip away the fundamental essence of the spirit of Christmas, and yet that spirit hasn't completely been eroded yet, but is our Christian spirit being?
I remember alike millions of kids of my age back in the good old days, I wanted Christmas to last forever, I didn't understand why the happiness and "positive" energy that ran through our veins on Christmas couldn't keep running through our veins year long. And still in many ways I acknowledge it I'm a kid deep down inside, but aren't we all? It's not about being childish or not, it's about the feeling we sense during the Christmas period, this period of rejoice and this period were deep-down inside the fact that we are with our love-ones pushes us to be better and to be nicer in this insensible world of ours.
As as we are all in the prime of our delight let us reflect on our modern world. Let's look at things this way in an Ocean of terror and anguish filled with suffering and despair Christmas and this end of year feeling is in Island surround by the horrid the storm that has been flooding way by way our everyday lives. That flooding started on 9/11.
We still live our lives according to the aftermath of 9/11, that is without doubt. If you look around this society of ours, everything is still stalled, stuck in time, lost in translation. 11/9 wasn't just the physical destruction, the two towers, the almost 3.000 deaths, the other thousands of family members or friends that were affected directly and the 300 million that were affected both indirectly and directly. Of course this physical and mental destruction was horrible it's no good to go back again and again on those awful images that all reside in our "collective mind" but to really heal any pain or wound we must continue heading forward and not giving into terror.
And yet the day after the attacks, the U.S.A. and the Bush "regime" of the time decided to lunch this so called War on Terror. At the time blinded by fear maybe more than the notion of revenge or of hate even if those did certainly exist, the majority of the American people stood silent, and so did the majority of people through-out the western world. 9/11 wasn't just the physical destruction, in was the nirvana of fear, in was the specific moment at which fear took over the direction our human societies.
From the start of the war against/on "terror" (bullshit), terror hijacked our rationality and so we traded our freedoms to be safe, we traded our ethics and morality for security at least we thought that we would get security, but how could we? When you fear, when fear controls you and dictates your life then you are a slave of fear, and no slave is safe because he has no free-will without free-will you can't be free and when freedom is under threat anywhere its threatened everywhere.
But do not fear anymore my friends a new dawn is upon us nowadays,  people are awakening through our world. As we finished out our last preparations for Christmas, hundreds of thousands of Russians braved the cold and defied a power in a country that until now was subjugated by fear. During this year people like you and me lifted the banner of change and carried to new heights. Some might say it's just a phase, I say it's just the beginning. The War on Terror the real one, the rightful one starts now, it's not a war against some "unknown", "invisible" enemy it's against ourselves, it's the fight to slay the fear that lives inside us, only then we might live free and only then will the "true" values of Christmas may be known.

Merry Christmas to y'all and may we build peace on earth.
