It makes me feel nothing about the future. It just lets me know that the United States is creating more enemies. Now with these new enemies, there is likely going to be more problems; mainly more problems with foreign relations. Many people would look at this and say that it will cause more problems with foreign terrorism. Some people likely will fear the thought of more terrorist acts on the country, but I do not. My ideology as of now is “if it happens, it happens.” It is true that America’s foreign policy when it comes to the Middle East is making the problem of foreign terrorism worse. Imperialistic is a good word to describe America’s relationship with Iraq and Afghanistan. You come in to a country, blow things up, tell people what to do, take people captive, your employees do not treat them right, they get even madder at you. Now it is just not one group of people mad at you (Osama and his clique), you got a whole nation of people mad at you. You got people mad at you that didn’t have anything to do with 9/11. You have created more enemies trying to catch one. America is messing up, simple as that. I’m not going to be surprised if some foreigners perform an act of terrorism. I’m not going to be surprised if a citizen of the United States performs an act of terrorism. I may be surprised if nothing happens.
I enjoy the life that I live here in The United States of America. I love that I am protected by the most powerful national defense in the world, I enjoy the prosperous economy that America has, I enjoy the fact that citizens can attend primary school for free, and there are many other things that I enjoy. America overall has been good to me. Now if an act of terrorism were to happen to interfere with the life that I enjoy in America, I would understand. I understand what the source is of that terrorist act. So, if that event ever occurs I am going to play the game how it goes, and that will be the end of it. As of now I am not worried that some terrorist act is going to be committed in some major U.S. city. I am not worried that there are people in the Middle East screaming “Death to America” and plotting on us as I type this.
Whatever happens happens. The future of the United States is in jeopardy, but I do not care. I could always move to a new location just like the Irish people in the 1840s, just like the Italians at the turn of the century. That is what I would do if the future of America looked really dim, move to another location. Fortunately for me the future doesn’t look that dim. So I’m chillin’.
