the "emptiness and disdain" you feel is better directed elsewhere, such as at the bush administration, which i know from your past entries it is. however, it confuses me how callous you are toward a populace who has endured much and been given nothing. the holocaust happened 60 years ago, yet there are daily reminders of its atrocities, and, save people such as rush limbaugh and the likes of him, you don't see much commentary implying "get over it" when referring to the jews. i think two years is a bit of a short grace period. i don't think you're being entirely fair when you say you've had your period of grieving, but enough's enough. how could you know? did you lose someone there? were you yourself injured in the event? granted, you're entitled to your opinion. i was just surprised by it, that's all. and disappointed. i thought you were more of a humanitarian, wheelslip.
