With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
July 07 2005
So everyone (unless you live under a rock) knows that line from the movie Spider-man. But really... do we live it out?
I'm not exactly a fan of war, but I know sometimes it's necessary. After 9-11, most everyone was ready for us to give the terrorists a piece of our mind. How soon we forget. Now most everyone grumbles and complains about the war... "why are we there, nothing's getting accomplished""... "it's all about the oil"... "Bush is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing"... they totally forget how it all started.
Now, before all my Democrat friends think I'm totally dissing on them and refuse to read the rest of the post, I'm not so please hear me out.
So a couple of days ago I mentioned Live 8, which was to raise awareness for G8, a conference of the world's eight richest nations to discuss helping the poorer countries. Live 8 especially emphasized the AIDS situation in Africa. England, among the eight countries, has been an ally to America in many ways. Tony Blair and George W. Bush allied together to fight against the Iraqis. England has several troops helping us in the war.
Then today, London is attacked by terrorists.
Why? Because THEY ARE A THREAT.
I hope and pray London will not wimp out like Spain did last year and remove their troops to appease the terrorists. I hope that London will band together, stir up some righteous anger, and be more determined than ever to fight. Now it's personal. Now their reason to fight should be greater and more personal than ever.
England and America are two of the richest nations in the world. We hold a lot of power in this world. "With great power..." We have the great power, so what is our responsibility? To fight for what's right. Whether that means providing money, food, and healthcare for Africans or warring with terrorists, we should be responding to the call of great responsibility.
*EDIT*
***PANIC FROM A REPUBLICAN*** Why are my adverts allowing people to read about Bush lies and Anti-Bush stuff?????

well said Amy Powers! I totally agree. We have to stand up to these terrorists and do what's right. It's completely sad to hear about what happened to London, and I pray they will do whatever it takes to bring justice for those affected by the events
