On January 17, 1991 and for the 43 days that followed, I watched CNN__ live coverage of SCUD missiles and bombs fall over Baghdad like rain; then the 12 ½ years of unjust sanctions that killed approximately a million Iraqis, half of which were children under the age of five; then an unjust attack in 2003 that opened the borders to terrorists from all over the world and reduced the cradle of civilization to piles of rubble. The gov. asked us to support their plan or else be considered anti-American and undemocratic and they ask of us the same today, 25 years later, even though history proved they were pro-profit not pro-life.

My first-year mentor Leslie taught me that the hurrieder we go, the behinder we get.

The people who encouraged you to change will oftentimes, after you change, accuse you of having changed.
