Thanks, Diane. That was awesome. Now I need to go throw up. (Nothing personal, just my emotional reaction to seeing all that disaster and human suffering again.) ---

It is so easy to lose your perspective when all you see now is what is going on in Afganistan, and all of the finger-pointing at Osama Bin Laden, and other terrorists. Thanks for bringing that up, seeing everything else on the news made me lose that sense of why we are doing what we are as a nation. All of those emotions from the first day of the attacks came flooding back, and I’m not ashamed to say that I am close to tears as I write this. ---

Like **DrMatrix** , I hadn’t realized that I had any tears left. I can’t even think of the words needed to describe my feelings right now. “Sad” just doesn’t say enough. So I guess the title of the thread is pretty fitting… ---
