One of Those Weeks
Some weeks there is so much to say I get bewildered. Where do you start?
At his inaugral, Bush quoted Abraham Lincoln: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it." He also added, "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."
May we have the strength to hold him to that.
I was also struck by a slogan on a handmade sign, held up by a middle aged protestor along the inaugral route: "My silence did not make me any safer."
I hope more and more people realize that.
Lastly, if you are as horrified as I am by sense that our world now seems beyond the most outrageous nightmare George Orwell could conjure up, maybe a bit of Edgar Allan Poe will make you feel, well, worse or better.

My favorite WTF!?! moment of today was when Cheney told Don Imus this morning that he didn't realize how badly the Iraqi people were scarred by Saddam putting down the 1991 revolt.

I didn't think it was possible to feel more disgust, horror and revulsion but it seems that every day's news takes all of the above to new levels.
I think I've lived too long. One Hitler in a lifetime is too many, two is unbearable.
