What the he** is wrong with those people. Thank God it wasn't more massive. I am sick at the thought of their ability to deal with a huge, massive attack.

This is horrible but I do hope it is fricken wake up call for them to say we looked pretty stupid to our fellow countries.

Then they would sit and then say as if in a after the thought. We need fix it so we don't lose anymore countrymen.

just my opinion

To: Former Military Chick

FWIW, I'm just going to jump in here with a somewhat relevant story.

Last night I had a troubling conversation with my sister. I said, "are you going to watch the speech tonight?"

To make a long story short, she hadn't watched anything, hadn't taken the time to listen either to the RNC or the DNC. She said, "It's all just a bunch of posturing."

In an effort to persuade her that the results of this election matter, I said, "have you heard about what's going on in Russia?"

She had no clue.

And get this--when I told her that the terrorists were Chechen separatists, she said, "Oh, but they are oppressed," as if whatever perceived injustice these murders feel makes it okay to kill innocent children.

I shook my head. I couldn't continue the conversation.

Cynicism and laziness. Willful ignorance. That's what we're facing here.

What a contrast with the faith, the belief in America and her ideals, in the idea that we can make a positive difference in the world, that I saw last night at the RNC.
