Terrorist attacks… will it ever end?
So this show I watched just watched this past weekend called “The Unit,” on cbs, which is about a unit in the military that does not technically exist unless to those who are in the government or in the unit itself. The show was about a terrorist attack from an extremist prison group, known as the arian warlords, on the water system in the Sierra Ridge, California area. These cities in this area are being taken over by an extremely toxic gas. A person in these conditions cannot withstand being outside for any longer then 30 second without being effected, causing them to sophisticate and die. People are lining the streets dead from the gas pouring through the sprinkler systems.
I found this show to be interesting because even though the attack on 9/11 was almost eight years ago the majority of media has in some way or another alluded to terrorist attacks. Whether it is re-enacting the attack of 9/11, or suicide bombings, or even other attacks that people are not aware of, like one in the case above. Keeping these situations in the media is just causing people to become more paranoid about our nation being under attack yet again. I’m not saying it is bad to be aware of the things around you, because I do think it is important to be cautious of what is happening in our world. But to be continuously reminded about it over and over again, is that really necessary? We have thousands of our military men and women still over in the mideast fighting and taking care of the situation that was thrust upon us eight years ago. It is not healthy to live in a state of fear all of the time. People need to walk tall and show these countries that we are not afraid of them and that this situation will come under control. It is just taking time, lots of time. We must be patient and put faith in those who have the power; not live in this state of fear.
