I was talking to a paramedic friend that went to Ground Zero after 9/11 and today watched the Nick Berg video and he summed it up for me. He said that 9/11 was surreal but this was personal. It is. It's personal.

And I don't care to see one more picture of an "innocent" Iraqi prisoner with panties on his head while listening to some TV blowhard tell me how offensive it is for Muslims to see that. It's offensive for me to see a young man who went there to help them get his head hacked off like an animal.

Well, 9/11 was rather personal for me -- I was there and I lost friends and neighbors that awful morning. It was also kind of surreal, but intensely personal.

I agree with every word here!
