The hope for a better future

Seven years ago an illusion of safety was brutally torn apart by the terror bombing of World Trade Center.

More than 2000 innocent people were killed, and even more suffered a loss strong enough to mark them for life.

And eveything changed that day – not only in The United States but around the world.

On the anniversary for this devastating event, the political opponents Barack Obama and John McCain chose to agree on a temporary ceasefire in the middle of their electioneering campaigns in order to unite in the national commemoration , not as a Democrat and a Republican, but as Americans.

In my opinion it is the onlyn right thing to do not to politicize such an important day and instead let it be emphazised by the memory of the innocent victims and the hope for a better world living in peace without terror and rancorous attacs.

If enemies could have met just as human beings living in the same world seven years ago, maybe there would be no need for a national commemoration on September 11th., innoncent people would not have been killed, and the world would not have been at war.

Of course this is a naive illusion, but it is my hope, that when the American people choose their furture politial leader, they wil elect a person, who can win the sympathy world-wide and thereby be a natural spokesman and pioneer for world peace by changing the image of American foreign politics from war-making to war-preventing.
