11. Yes thank you.

I am going to allow this post to be my one "I told you so." Back in 2001, I got a little grief from co-workers when I expressed a contrary opinion about rushing off to destroy Afghanistan. Back then I thought it'd just be bombing. But the last 20 years haved proved to be much worse. I still remember the sad TV spectacle of our fellow Americans lives being destroyed. I feel for those who lost friends and family in the 9/11 attacks. But where's the grief at losing thousands more to avoidable war and pestilence in the intervening years? Where's the shame from self-inflicted damage to our national image.

I'll shut up now. Standing on ones figurative lawn, shaking ones figurative fist at the collective idiocy seems counterproductive. ✌️✌️
