Cost Of War

This whole week leading up to Sept. 11, every time something comes on the tube I've switched to the other channel. I can't watch the airplanes crash into the Trade Center towers, I can't stand to watch it come down one more time, or watch as those workers are covered in that killing dust. It seems to me to be an orgy of sadness that is pointless. As a country we have done nothing to curb our addiction to oil. How many lives were wasted on both side, how many trillions of dollars have we spent, how many freedoms have we given up in the name of terror. I've got to shake my head at our collective foolishness that has lead us down this path. Take a look at this and just think for yourselves what this war has cost us. Cost of war.

Michael, I had the same reaction. I couldn't watch the coverage, I couldn't post about it. Some things are too terrible to re-live.

My mother has mild and selective dementia, and she saw the coverage on TV. She thought it was happening live and not ten years ago. I didn't blame her for blocking it from her mind.

Kudos to those who could remember and honor and post. I couldn't.
