My reaction isn’t particuarly special or unique, is it? How could it be? I am livid and repulsed again–photos are circulating again of an American beheaded, his detached head is resting on his body. I am reminded again, in this terrible way that every American is at war right now. George Bush didn’t make that choice. The bad guys did. And they will keep killing us. Secondguessing the liberation of Iraq isn’t going to save American lives, only resolve, clarity, courage, and sacrifice will.
