that's right

if you ignore the numbers, they'll go away. if you pretend 3,992 people didn't die, well then, they didn't die

on my way home from work the other day, i heard a mom being interviewed. her son was killed in action in iraq. the interviewer asked what she thought of the war, if we should stay there, ete.

the woman said she supported us being there and wanted us to stay until we won. she went on to say we BELONGED there because of 9-11. we BELONGED there so we could sleep safely at night. while i am so very sorry for her loss, i just wanted her to realize iraq had NOTHING NOTHING AND NOTHING to do with 9-11. iraq had NOTHING to do with wanting to attack us (THEN, now it's a different story. wouldn't YOU want to attack a country who invaded US without any reason?).

what are we fighting for?

"I just don't know how you can overlook that everyday," said Queisser.
So, he made it his duty to keep people informed by building the homemade billboard in his yard that he updates daily.........
