War on Terror and the Wizard of Oz
"We are trying to design a strategy for a war on terror on the blind side of logic at the expense of our future as a nation. The story of our disconnection from the blood on our hands, our words, our national belief-systems and the sense of God blessing our deeds has held us in terror like a deer caught in headlights. No one can a fight a war tactic. You fight wars with tactics. Terror is a war tactic, a state of being, and the element fear becomes in the long run. So what are we fighting? What are we fighting for, and who are we really fighting?
We have come to the end of the terror white people have felt for centuries, and named their inner battle of the soul ‘a war on terror’ spending billions of dollars to fight the terror living in their souls. How long can a nation wage war on the substance of guilt and fears? All of our ancestors watch us justify the idiotic that has become Homeland Security, and the children, yet unborn, cringe from the perspective of their future as our children, the heirs of our paradigms, debt, and war culture. When is enough enough? When will the right questions be asked and answered? When will the Lion find his courage, the Tin Man his heart, and Straw Man what did he lose that we have not found?
This is my concern. This is our story, and these are my words"
-Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
