You and I disagree on this one.

I Want WAR! I lost a friend in the basement of the Pentagon on 9-1-1.

My gf lives in NYC and I have seen ground zero firsthand.

I want war!

"You and I disagree on this one. I Want WAR!"


My friend, my heart is with you. I also respect your passion and suspect anyone who has been to the pit, walked away with the same pain in their guts. The cops here in Sacramento after retuning from NYC expressed similar feelings. Other conservative friends, much the same.

In my prior life, I did business at the World Trade Center several times a year. I have a sense of guilt because I met some wonderful people there and will never know if they perrished. The primary client I visited, moved their HQ to London years before 9-11.

Were it not for the unwashed commie bastards overly represented by these protests, I could see myself attending a vigil or prayer circle. Honestly, I've not managed my anger very well... as the sole survivor whose WWII father didn't come home I have some clue how you and others must feel when such a loss is suffered. I guess I'm thinking of people who have been writing me lately, whose loved ones are heading to the middle east. I dread the thought of needing to comfort them if the need arrose. I dread the thought of their children clutching service medals in place of warm hugs from dad or mom like I had to. Iwill never get over that, nor do I want to. I just pray other don't have to either. I know you and I would share that prayer Pod....
