Who's the grand master?

Every time this happens—New York, London, Madrid, Mumbai—I think about ethics problems—do u save your brother or 100 strangers? Whoever is doing this is all about family objectives. For many years I have thought about the US’ positioning in the world. So when I was living in New York on September 11, 2001, I was shocked but not surprised. July 11, 2006- well, the bus stops here for me when it comes to asking why. Now, I am just so angry. Stop.

What is the point? I want to be a fly on the wall of all the rooms of all the heads of state. I want to know what they know. How long they have known? I want to know why compromises are not being bartered. I’m sure there is so much the public will not know for generations. I want to know what is at stake. I want to know how long the ‘general public’ will be used as pawns in this very decadent game of chess. Who are we trusting to make these choices about how many lives are worth sacrificing? Is all this for the greater good? Is some group threatening to blow up the world, so our leaders say, okay take a few but leave most?
