As much as I enjoyed your soliloquy I just can't applaude an effort to sit back and do nothing. I was in absolute terror the day the twin towers came under attack. My five year old son was in preschool and the first thing I thought was how this would change his future forever. Then the Anthrax laced envolopes started arriving and again I thought... "oh my God, what if my little boy were to inhale anthrax?" If we just sit back now, it won't stop there. Fear will be part of our daily lives. We'll have another Hitler on our hands. I DON'T want my son to grow up in an America overrun by fear. Honestly, I feel that if it wasn't for all the tree hugging, hippie motherfuckers we have in our country Sadaam would already be LONG GONE. THAT, however, is another discussion. BTW, did anyone hear Bono's take on all of this? Surprisingly, he supports Bush's efforts. He says he has no interest in the politics of the whole thing. His interests are humanitarian alone. According to him, they've never been able to get the area the aid it needs becuase they haven't been allowed to do so by the gov't.
