I think, that we should never forget 9/11 or the people or the heroes. And move on. We've heard all of the reasons, and they are good ones, for why we shouldn't go to war, shouldn't kill civilians. and I agree - war is insanity. But we've got to stop analyzing it and move forward to solve this.
There are two movies out right now that are good examples about how hateful our thinking has become. One is about Clinton's escapades in the whitehouse, which children will be very confused over - or at least the ones that aren't already, including young teens. The other is about the assassination of Pres. Bush. This goes beyond politics and is clearly a threat. Terrorists, and I'm referring to the real ones not us, are not interested in analyzing our mistakes in IRaq - they are far too busy exploiting them. Michael Fox, who is an inspiration to many of us with PD, was asked on Bravo - Inside the Actor's Guild - what his favorite thing, or characteristic that he admires most in people or whatever those questions are they always ask at the end of that program. His reply was "courage without fear". Spreading fear is not uinique to the Bush admininistration. Talk about solutions, not philosophies. Drilling it in everyone's head how imcompetent the leaders in charge of our lives are is fearmongering at it's worst. The best thing to come out of another 9/11 memorial would be for us to come together and make if clear that we won't fight unless we have to but if we have to.....we're going to finish it this time. forward... solutions...unite Paula |

Actually, I wish we had more parties....more choices....real parties- not isolated ones like libertarians. I wish the Independent Party would become a strong third party. It seems logical with so many problems between the donkey and elephants.

I agree, Paula. I think the biggest problem in the Vietnam war is that we left the South Vietnamese on their own against the enemy, and didn't finish the job there. I do not want to see Afghanistan and Iraq turn out the same way.

Interesting-Bob Bowman just won the primary in my district in Florida. He has quite an interesting demeanor- in his TV ads and phone calls he is loud and authoritative. His voice has come booming out of my answering machine. And he has an infamous opponent, Dave Weldon, staunch sponsor and author of anti-ESCR stem cell bills. That should make for some interesting decision making. We know how to pick em down here...
