I saw this on the news early...Very good comments! <br />I saw this on the news early this morning and was wondering the same thing Rae Dawn. I like to hike, but you sure wouldn't catch me hiking there! It would be like going to Viet Nam right after the war and not expecting to step on landmines!<br /><br />Scary!Suzi from Ojaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767382107078327397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569200156065234506.post-68437915376304748912010-09-14T08:05:40.127-07:002010-09-14T08:05:40.127-07:00You know Rae, what we do to ourselves always gets ...You know Rae, what we do to ourselves always gets the backpage while what others do to us takes the frontpage. The issue of the hikers will come to and end, and it will either be a feel good story of Americanism, or a rallying point for Americanism... in either case it will serve a purpose. The issue of missing Black children is not going to be solved, because it's part of the child trafficking problem that's being swept under the rug. It's not going to come to an end, so it's not going to be allowed to have a beginning. <br /><br />As for the hikers and what made them believe it was alright to go someplace where shooting at Americans is a daily occurance, I think it may be an example of our lack of feeling integrated in the world (although they may actually be spies). Its the same mentality that says "the world changed after 9/11". "Our" world changed, the rest of the world had always been dealing with issues like that, or acknowledged that when it happened someplace else it also affected them. We became part of the rest of the world that day. But we've slowly been drifting back into our own world again. <br /><br />I feel bad for those kids, because whether they were spies or just kids whose personal reality was completely detached from world reality, they are on lockdown. Hopefully we will learn a lesson here and start respecting issues of the world as our own... but I doubt it.Dwane T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218649785614098860noreply@blogger.com
