Eve of Uncertainty Eve of UncertaintyIt is 6:40 and I am poised in front of the television. I find myself watching the clock.Memories come flooding back to 1962. I was only 9 but I knew enough to be scared. The Cuban Missle Crisis had me and my friends worried if we were going to war. We worried if there would be bombs here in the US. Adults didn't seem to be as afraid as us kids. At least I never thought they were. I now know different. I am scared. I am not only afraid for our soldiers ready to fight this war, but I am also afraid that after tonight, this country I call home may never be the same. I still cannot say that I am totaly for or against this war. I have listened to both sides. That is how I learn. I believe that both sides have good points. I think anyone with any intelligence has to be able to see pros and cons. I don't know if we have a right to pass our morals and diplomacy on another country. But I don't know if we do nothing, that it won't come back to haunt us. I do know that I am a proud American and that right or wrong, I support whatever action our government feels they need to take. I don't have to like it. I don't always agree. But in my humble opinion, patriotism means being loyal to your country and those in charge of running it. If I disagreed so strongly with their actions that I felt the need to put them down in every conversation and if I felt that this country was so terrible that I had to complain every day about the President and the politics, I would do the only thing that makes sense. I would move out. I sure wouldn't stay in a neighborhood that I hated. Until that time, I shall support my President, my government and the troops. Until then I will still be proud to be an American. I shall still wake up in a country that I love. I will still show the same respect that those in charge deserve and try not to tell them how to do their jobs. I sure wouldn't want it. My diary, my opinion. Later,
Cosmic
