Well it seems that the Vatican felt jealous of the US and decided to put in their command a kind of clone of President Bush… Yes I know the comparison is preposterous and ridiculous but stay with me. Benedict XVI has in one year made a lot of mistakes, and the majority of them wore
In the last month or so: he forgot to name Israel when he read a list with all countries affected with terrorist attacks; he managed to say that WWII was of the responsibility of only a few criminal Nazis and last but not least he quoted someone of the XIV century that said the prophet Mohamed brought nothing to the world except evil and inhuman…

I don't believe that his goal was to offend anyone, but the reality is that he is taking very few time to shatter what the last pope has done in inter-religion communication and tolerance… sound familiar???

There's not much one can say. The truth probably will never be known, or it's already known and we just won't accept it.

9/11 was the first of a (small) series of terrorist attacks to western countries (Atocha and London wore the other two), in the last five years. I don't think you can blame any of the American administrations (actual or previous) for the attacks. Sure the two attacks in Europe would be less likely to happen in the way they did but, probably, there would be another excuse and the attack would happen anyway.

I also think that it's a stupid theory the one that claims that the two towers wore imploded (with explosives, in an arrange conspiracy of the government, so they would have the excuse to invade Afghanistan and Iraq ). I think that the only guilt that lies with the American government, and probably with all western governments, is being so dam incompetent.

1st – They allowed countries to exist under tyrant and radical regimes, just because they wore our friends instead of friends of Russia .

2nd - Previous to 9/11 there wore no exchange of intelligence between any western countries.

3rd – After things like the attacks at the WTC in 93 there was little if any changes in the way the western governments thought about Islamic countries and organizations.

4th – There are obviously lots of details about the attacks that can't be disclosed. If it is for security reasons or just for political ones we will find out when the administration changes ( the political ones will probably then be disclosed).

5th - There's no effort to stop violence in the countries where these attacks began. Even in the London attacks, they say they only did them because of what was going on in there ancestors land.

So, I think that in order to achieve peace in all world we need only three things:

1st – Resolve once and for all the problem of Israel ;

2nd - Bring up the economic level of all countries in the world. If Europe and Japan wore able to do it from almost nothing after WWII, if Latin America is doing the same and lots of African countries are also being successful in achieving the same goal, then maybe all countries with the help of the rich ones can.

3rd – Stop trying to change a country religions, traditions and believes just because it's different from ours.

That's what I think… five years latter…

Starting to be used to be invisible.

I've noticed in the past that I'm good at staying invisible, if I'm in a place with lots of people, as long as I maintain a low profile, I can be completely invisible. Take the example of the library I use to study. I've been using it to study for the last three years, although it's not my departments library it's the quietest in all university and, as me, almost all users are frequent users.

As this library I'm talking is small, it's normal for it's users to recognize each others, but strangely enough (or not) this year I had to talk with some of them. I knew who they were, but they hadn't the slightest idea of who I was.

I'm beginning to believe that this is an advantage: to have the ability to pass as an invisible person, to be unrecognizable, gives me a sensation of pleasure that I have a hard time explaining. I enjoy not being noticed, not being recognized. I love the unique felling of being alone in a room full of people… it gives me peace.
