The War

There's a war going on now, America attacked Afghanistan. I was always raised with the belief that after World War II everyone had learned their lessons; westerners at least. There's a lot I don't know about this World and I'm realizing it even more after the September 11 attacks.

I feel so helpless and unsure. What's going to become of the future that I believed my son had? I worry about him since he's half American; I feel so responsible for his future. I'm not god and I have to come to terms with this uncertainty.

My son is so worried about all this war stuff and I don't even know how to explain it to him. He's only 10 years old and the country he is from and has gotten to know will never be the same again.

I'm listening to the BBC on the radio and tonight is the second night Americans are bombing Afghanistan.
