I have posted before over the years about the tragedy of September 11th 2001. I am not going to launch into a huge post here. Today for me is about remembering how it was, and how it felt.

Here it is, Independence Day again. Years after the attacks of 9/11 and the United States is still here. We have stumbled, both internally (the Patriot Act will forever be a blight on our record in history) and externally… but we survive.

Some more resources in the ongoing discussions about the fall of Baghdad and the continuing efforts of anti-war bandwagon jumpers to get a handle on how wrong they were.

This Is Good. This is going to be a pretty fast entry, I am going to bed and I don’t have the time to get too deeply into my thoughts here at the moment. We’re [[wp:2003_Iraq_war|kicking ass in Iraq]] and there is literal dancing in the streets about it. Obviously questions remain int he minds  Read more »
