September 11
On 9/11 it is time to be sure the memories of the reality of the World Trade Center tragedies are kept alive. Today we are aware of the pain of those who lost loved ones in the collapse of the towers and we remember the generosity and dedication of the police and firefighters who gave their all. As a nation the pictures of the plumes of smoke and people running are burned in our consciousness.
We are still working out our grief. Collectively our first reaction was denial "This can't be happening." We soon moved to anger. Our leaders sought to avenge this unfair loss of life. Some are still stuck in the anger. Does the loss of four thousand troops somehow compensate for the loss of three thousand people at home at the hands of religious fanatics. Hopefully some day we will come to a sense of resolution. An acceptance that the tragedy was the result of the actions of a group of insane individuals. Meanwhile we pray for peace, in ourselves and among nations.

Sarah!
I'm weighing in on Sarah Palin. Who can't be excited about a 44 year old soccer mom in great shape, especially if you were raised in the cold of Western New York? My concerns are about what happens of she does become president. What will happen when she sits across the table from Putin or someone of the caliber of Tony Blair? They will speak with different vocabulary, at the very least. How much history did she study? More than George Bush, I hope.
I admit, at first I was put off by some of the blogs and news articles about her politics in Alaska. But I had to step back as I read an article from FactCheck.org. Everybody should subscribe to their email list. Maybe she's not the dragon-lady, but is she in the same league as leaders of the great nations of the world?
I also have a problem with anti-abortion people who are not truly pro-life. Abortion is wrong, but so is the rush to war.
