You wrote a great post on 9-11. I hope others will visit you. 2sweetnsaxy, I read your post. Like the Republicans, I do believe there is evil in this world, and it is not George W. Bush (he's quite flawed, but not evil). I also have stopped believing in big government to solve all our problems. My taxes are high enough, thank you. But I try my hardest not to blog much about politics, as I think it separates people too much. We all have different views of reality. Debbie, thanks for visiting. You wrote a great post on 9-11.

We may not like to talk about these things but sometimes it is best we don't hold it in. I'm on the west coast. I was sleep when my friend woke me up with a call. She was frantic and I thought she had misunderstood something on the news and was in one of her usual high-strung modes. And then I turned on the t.v. I couldn't believe this was happening. I did a post today too but mine was more political based, upset that the Republicans used this tragedy to instill fear as a reason to vote for them. This is not a day that will be forgotten.

It truly is a day of mourning for those of us who watched live and in color the events of that morning seven years ago. Thank you for sharing your experience.

At first we thought it was a terrible accident, but we watched the second plane crash happen live. A colleague of mine, a wonderful Afghan woman, said--that's Osama Bin Ladin. None of us had ever that name before. And I will never forget another colleague speaking to her husband on the phone as he was walking down the stairs. He didn't make it out. A life-changing day.

But I'm glad you mentioned the Israeli terrorism. As horrible as this was, we in the U.S. know nothing about terrorism, what it's like to have it all around us every day. We are lucky and blessed. I definitely see why it was hard for you to write this, but you have more to add than some of us do. Black is appropriate. But I’m glad you mentioned the Israeli terrorism.
