How many deaths will it take till he knows, that too many people have died?

I honestly don't know what to say anymore, everything has been said so many times...There's practically no real television, there's no real radio programming...everything, everywhere is focused on the tradgedy and while I do agree we need to have up to the moment coverage, I just wish there was still that little escape hole that television and radio provide us with. I can not even imagine the New York skyline without those towers, it feels like there isn't only a gaping hole in the skyline, but in me because things like this just aren't supposed to happen here. I'm not supposed to wake up on a Tuesday morning in September to find my mom upstairs crying, frantically trying to reach her sister in New York because we are so afraid she may be dead. I'm not supposed to answer the phone and have my Uncle Pat tell me my 95 year old Great Uncle Peter passed away in the morning, but since the phone lines are all tied up we have no idea how he died, only that he wasn't in Manhattan, but in a nursing home somewhere upstate. I'm not supposed to feel so afraid that I can't sleep at night, nor am I supposed to be afraid to drive myself to school in the mornings. I'm not supposed to go to school today, Wednesday, September 12 and not be able to do my Streetcar monologue because I'm crying. It isn't supposed to happen. It just isn't, and it makes me terribly sad, fearful and angry because things like this SHOULDN'T happen, anywhere. No one, in any country, on any continent should go through the horrors we put each other through. We are so cruel, all of us, from the people who masterminded these most recent, savage acts of terrorism, to those of us who sat at home thinking "damn those middle eastern people..." We are so easy to blame, and yet so unwilling to forgive, and find compassion. I've heard many people say we should go in and bomb the fuck out of "those people." That's right, let's go into a country, or a region and just let loose all our "big, bad American power" because that is just going to fucking solve everything isn't it? Let me tell you something, I may be angry as hell at who did this, but I certainly do not want to see my friends going off to fight some war. We do not need that. Our generation has been so lucky, we didn't have Korea, or Vietnam, and we certainly have no concept of what WW1 and 2 were like, and I hope we all thank God for that because with the technology we have now, no one would win, we'd simply all be dead. There has got to be some better way for us to all live on the planet, because it is ALL we have. We only get ONE shot, we don't get do overs...this isn't a dress rehersal, this is the real deal, and if we fuck it all up, we do not have another week of shows to smooth out the kinks. We have got to find a way for us to all get along in a peaceful manner, because we are all we've got here...How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man?Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls flyBefore they're forever banned?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.How many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky?Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry?Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knowsThat too many people have died?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.How many years can a mountain existBefore it's washed to the sea?Yes, 'n' how many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free?Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,Pretending he just doesn't see?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.-"Blowin in the Wind" Bob Dylan
