if bush had not stolen the election.



The mother and daughter of a woman killed near Fallujah grieve at her gravesite in Baghdad on Thursday.


edit: i posted it because of the gut-wrenching expression on the daughter's face. i ain't so emotional normally.

1. Good point, prof.
How many MORE evils would not have been wrought had BFEE not been able to steal the election?

2. This may sound weird
but last year at this time, when I was standing out in the cold with my sign, I could sense that if the madness didn't stop, there would be so much death, destruction, and grief. I could feel it waiting in the wings. We had a chance, albeit a slim one, to stop the madness. We have another chance now-and possibly our last one. If Bush remains in office, our country as we know it will be destroyed, imho.

3. Early in this war there was a photo
of a woman walking away from her 21 year old son's graveside, clutching the flag that had draped his coffin. I don't believe the photo showed her face, but her body language was so grief-stricken that I started crying myself.

Admittedly, ever since my own first child was born I've become far more emotional about these things. Every child might be my child. Every loss might be my loss. Every single person who has died so far was someone's precious child, father, mother, sister, husband, wife, brother and more.
