(Note to Self) Hey Tree, the Forrest is Over There --->
The natural human condition to become so immersed in something that you lose sight of the larger picture hit me today. Being a political junkie, and following the Iraq War so closely, I missed something that a friend of mine pointed out to me at lunch today. He said the following about the war:Who has this helped? How has this war helped the American or the Iraqi people?With so many people dead, and such gross folly on display, these questions really boil it down. We know the answer: Nobody. No one. The mess Richard Cheney and his ilk have made will take decades to reconcile and make right. I'm an atheist, but if the rest of the world ever forgives us for this tragedy, and the shame it has brought on our country, that would surely be a blessing.
