28. I remember going to work...

The next day seeing people giddy talking about watching the footage of the bombs being dropped and feeling sick to my stomach. I pointed out that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and that innocent people were most likely dying in each of those blasts and being ostracized for it being called "un-patriotic"...there was a blood lust in the air and many, many Americans were all for it.

What we did to Iraq is horrible. The fact that the people who orchestrated it are still walking free is disgusting and is one of the two biggest mistakes President Obama has made as President.
