When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I am curious how many of yourselves found yourselves thinking about how you felt about this recent event. I heard a 16 year old girl cheering, claiming she now doesn't have to worry about her personal safety. This surprised me a bit frankly, despite this somewhat popular view. Recently I had been meeting 20-somethings who voice peace and act against violence, even if it means the end of one quationable life.
Your thoughts and considerations are welcome.

Welcome to the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: "Given the harsh brutality of Saddam Hussein’s political career I would never have anticipated a certain measure of sympathy for the man at the end of his life."
Your thoughts and considerations are welcome.
